The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) donated relief materials valued at millions of naira to victims of recent flooding in Akaeze and Ishiagu communities within the Ivo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. The relief items included bags of rice, beans, garri, cartons of vegetable oil, foam mattresses, mosquito nets, and women’s clothing.
