NEMA Assesses Flood Damage in Kogi Communities

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), through its Abuja Operations Office, conducted an on-the-spot assessment of flood-affected communities in Kogi Local Government Area, Kogi State. This assessment aimed to ascertain the extent of the flood's impact and identify immediate humanitarian needs.

The team, led by Hon. Muhammed Shuaibu, the Special Adviser to the Governor of Kogi State on Emergency Management, visited several communities, including Odaki, Ukwo, Kpokpozi, and Bass B. They assessed damage to lives, livelihoods, infrastructure, and other critical areas.

The assessment involved collaboration with key stakeholders, including KOSEMA, the Nigerian Red Cross Society, Local Emergency Management Committees (LEMCs), and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development Humanitarian Emergency Assistance Programme (N-HYPERDEC). NEMA reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with state governments, traditional rulers, community leaders, and humanitarian partners to strengthen disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts across Nigeria.
