The Jigawa State Emergency Management Agency (JISEMA) on Sunday distributed relief items to 400 people displaced by flood in Buji Local Government Area (LGA) of Jigawa.

The items provided by the agency include 300 bags rice (10kg), 900 pieces of spaghetti, 10 bags of garri (50kg), 10 bags of maize (100kg), three bags of groundnut cake (100kg), 100 blankets, 100 mats and 300 mosquito nets.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Thursday flood wreaked havoc in Gantsa, the council’s headquarters and Gwadayi village.

Dr Haruna Mairiga, the Executive Secretary of JISEMA, said that the victims had been evacuated and were being camped in a primary school in the area.

Mairiga said healthcare services and safe drinking water had been provided in the camp.

“We are here to provide succour to the flood victims in Gantsa and Gwadayi.  400 of them will benefit from these items.

”I want to assure those affected that more relief materials will be coming in due course. We informed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) about this incidence”, he said.

In his remarks, the Director of Administration and General Services of the council, Mr Shuaibu Na’aba, commended the state government for its quick response to the plight of the victims.

Na’aba, who is also the Caretaker Chairman of the council, said it would also assist the victims soon.
