Tijani emphasized the government’s commitment to assisting those affected by the disaster and highlighted the progress made by the committee. The relief efforts form part of Borno State’s broader initiative to rebuild communities affected by the disaster.
Overall, the extension will enable thorough assessment and support for flood victims, reaffirming the government’s dedication to providing adequate assistance in the face of this natural disaster.
