In some states, the N17.6billion flood relief funds released by the federal government to bring succour to the victims, who had been sheltered in camps, has ended up in the private pockets of officials of committees and emergency outfits vested with the responsibility of managing their states’ share of the funds.
Some of these victims got between N450 and N3,000 compensation for losing their houses and farmlands to the floods.
It is also a shock that collation of the data of the victims of the disaster is still ongoing, three months after the President Goodluck Jonathan administration released the relief funds on October 9, 2012.
