The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has extended its condolences to communities in Northern Nigeria and other affected regions, following the devastating floods caused by overflowing rivers, streams, and dam.
In a statement issued in Kaduna by Prof. Tanko Muhammad-Baba, the ACF’s National Publicity Secretary, the forum expressed deep concerns over the tragic loss of lives, destruction of property, and disruption of livelihoods across several communities.
“These floods have caused catastrophic damage to many areas, coming at a time when Nigerians are already struggling with significant economic challenges, including inflation, insecurity, and food shortages.
 “The floods have only worsened the situation,” the ACF said.
The forum referenced the severe flooding in Maiduguri, where on Tuesday, a video footage showed streets and homes submerged, bringing life to a standstill.
“Similar scenes have been reported across other northern states, with homes, farmlands, and infrastructure left in ruins.
“The devastating images from Maiduguri are just one example of the widespread flooding across many communities, with no clear end in sight,” it noted.
 “The ACF grieves with all those affected and prays for comfort for those who have lost loved ones and property,” it said.
The forum called on government agencies, emergency responders, and humanitarian organizations to urgently provide relief and assistance to affected areas without bureaucratic delays.
They also urged the deployment of military engineers to restore damaged infrastructure and provide temporary shelters with basic amenities.
Furthermore, the ACF emphasized the need for strict enforcement of regional planning regulations, building codes, and environmental laws to prevent future disasters.
 They condemned the negligence and corruption that often result in preventable tragedies.
“We must ensure that no more lives, limbs, or property are lost due to incompetence, dereliction of duty, or corrupt practices.
“We call on the public to adhere to environmental regulations, maintain proper hygiene, and avoid actions that block drainage systems or waterways,” the forum said.
The ACF also  prayed  for God’s protection over all communities and called for sustained efforts to prevent both natural and man-made disasters in the future.(NAN
