The Kogi State Government started distributing relief supplies to flood-affected local governments on Friday.
Among other things, the materials include tomato paste, red oil, beans, gari, rice, and vegetable oil.
Chief Victor Omofaiye, the commissioner for the environment, cautioned authorities against diverting the supplies while speaking to reporters after watching the distribution procedure.
He made a request for increased assistance from the Federal Government, businesses, and civic-minded people to lessen the victims’ pain.
He states that further supplies of aid would also be provided in the upcoming days, emphasizing that the recipients of the aid must be residents of Internally Displaced Camps.
Mr. Margret Akuh, the interim executive secretary of the Kogi State Emergency Management Agency, was also present to oversee the drill.
Lokoja, Kogi, Ajaokuta, Ibaji, Idah, Ofu, Igalamela-Odolu, Bassa Adavi, and Omala are the local governments.
