Kebbi Govt To Set Up Camp For Flood Vctims

The Kebbi State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has concluded arrangements to set up a temporary camp for victims of the flood, which ravaged parts of Birnin Kebbi on Tuesday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the flood caused by a heavy rain, killed a 70-year-old man and rendered many people homeless.

The acting Executive Director of the agency, Malam Abbas Rabiu, told NAN in Birnin Kebbi that the agency was preparing a camp for the displaced people.

Rabiu said that already other committees had been constituted for assessment, evacuation and supply of relief materials to the victims.

He said, ``We would meet and issue solutions on our findings to state authorities.''

NAN reports that the heavy rainfall that lasted for seven hours resulted in flooding of the metropolis, with major roads blocked, while many houses collapsed.

The Deputy Governor of the state, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim, accompanied by some top government officials, had earlier inspected parts of the areas devastated by the flood.

He ordered the state Urban Development Authority to immediately clear all blocked drainage. (NAN)
