Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Nasir Sani-Gwarzo made this known to Newsmen after the emergency meeting on flood situation with relevant stakeholders in Abuja.
He said experts responsible for controlling flood disaster had informed the committee that the scale of the 2022 flooding was similar to that of 2012.
Sani-Gwarzo explained that the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA came up with relief materials reaching over 300,000 people that were displaced across the line of the flooding impact.
However, early this year, it will be recalled that NiMet had predicted some parts of the country to witness increased rain fall and deep into the rainy season, as one of the African countries would release water from its dam.
