President Bola Tinubu has directed the immediate activation of the National Emergency Response Centre following the devastating floods in Mokwa Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger State, which claimed several lives and displaced several families.
This is just as the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA) yesterday said the number of corpses recovered so far from the flood that ravaged had risen to 151 with 3,018 persons displaced.
Tinubu’s directive was given early yesterday after he received distressing reports on the scale of the disaster.
