Flood: Kogi Govt Procures Massive Relief Materials for Victims

By Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The Kogi State Government has procured a substantial amount of relief materials for distribution to flood victims across the state to alleviate the hardships they are facing.

The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr. Kingsley Fanwo, disclosed this while briefing journalists on the government’s efforts to provide support to those affected by the floods.

“We are not just waiting for help; we’ve already taken action by allocating significant resources to address the needs of flood victims in the state,” Fanwo said.

He added, “We have received the first batch of relief materials, and more trucks are on the way. Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo is fully committed to the welfare of the Kogi people and will spare no effort to ensure that flood victims are supported during this difficult period.

“As a responsible and responsive administration, we won’t wait solely for external aid. It is our duty to stand with the victims in times like this.”

Fanwo noted that the materials already delivered include foodstuffs such as rice, semovita, and beverages, along with medical supplies, mosquito nets, mattresses, and other essential household items.

“The state government has engaged a major service provider to supply the necessities for those displaced by this unfortunate natural disaster. We are satisfied with the services provided so far and look forward to receiving more relief materials as per our agreement with the supplier,” he said.

He also reassured the flood victims that the government is standing by them. “We want to assure the victims that they are not alone during this challenging time. We are here for them and will continue to meet their needs.”

Fanwo reiterated the state government’s appeal for assistance from the Federal Government, international organizations, NGOs, and philanthropists. “While we are doing our best, we cannot do it all. We call for help to ensure that the victims receive the support they deserve,” he concluded.
