Flooding Displaces 2000 In Nasarawa Communities
Heaving flooding in some communities in Nasarawa state has caused the displacement of about 2000 people.
The Chairman, Doma Local Government in Nasarawa State, Ahmed Sarki-Usman who spoke on Friday during an assessment visit to the affected communities said the incident happened on September 20.
He said his visit was to ascertain the level of damage caused by the flood to report the situation to the state government for necessary action.
“It is unfortunate that the flood destroyed houses, farmlands, produce and other valuables worth millions of naira. Many inhabitants of the area affected by the flood have deserted their homes and are now camping at primary schools as temporary sites. What my people are facing is completely devastating,’’ he lamented.
Sarki-Usman urged people in the communities to remain calm as the government would soon assist them.
