President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sadness about ravaging floods in some parts of Nigeria, asking governors to explain their efforts and usage of funds.
Buhari said the situation is under close watch, assuring that the government at the center will keep sending teams to render necessary help.
Torrential rains have caused the death of a number of citizens and destroyed properties across the country.
The President extended condolences to communities in towns and villages, who have lost relatives, suffered damage, and destruction of farmlands.
Buhari disclosed that the National Emergency Management Agency had written to all states on the appropriate action ahead of the 2022 wet season.
A statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu said calls for the federal government to respond to all outbreaks of natural disaster do not just display an understanding of Nigerian law.
