The agency said the exercise also covered victims in Orlu and Ehime Mbano local government areas, with food and non-food items presented to support households affected by recent flooding, windstorms and other disaster incidents.
According to NEMA, the intervention was carried out “to cushion the effects of flooding and other disasters on affected persons.”
Although the agency did not disclose the quantity or monetary value of the relief materials, it said the items were intended to provide immediate humanitarian support and ease the hardship faced by victims while complementing ongoing recovery efforts in the affected communities.
