By  Milcah   Tanimu

Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of the House of Representatives, has called for emergency aid following severe flooding in the Sabon Gari Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The flood, which struck on Monday in the Kogin Mata and Tudun Muntsira regions of Sabon Gari, was triggered by heavy rainfall and has led to significant property damage and the displacement of many residents.

In a statement issued by his media aide, Musa Krishi, Abbas expressed his deep sympathy for the victims and condemned the disaster occurring at a time when many are striving to sustain their livelihoods.

The Speaker has urged immediate intervention from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) to provide relief to those affected by the flooding.

Abbas also called on residents in the impacted and surrounding areas to follow safety recommendations and preventive measures issued by authorities to mitigate flood risks.

Highlighting the need for collective action, Abbas emphasized the importance of addressing the broader issue of flooding across the nation, stressing the need for coordinated efforts to manage and prevent such disasters in the future.
