Mr. Shettima conveyed the sympathy of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to all victims of flood disasters across the country.
“I want to use this forum to commiserate with the people of our great nation over the flood disasters we are recording all across the length and breath of this nation,” he said.
Many Maiduguri residents have been displaced due to flooding caused by the failure of water channels at the Alau Dam.
The floodwaters have submerged residential areas, roads, and bridges, rendering numerous parts of the city inaccessible.
