Flood: NEDC Donates Relief Items To Bauchi Victims

As part of efforts to alleviate the plight of victims of flood disasters in the state, the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) has donated assorted food and non-food items to the Bauchi State Government.

Daily Independent reports that the food and non-food items donated to the state government by the commission include 10,000 25kg Bags of rice, 5,000 Blankets, 5,000 Mats, 3,000 Gallons of Vegetable oil, 5,000 pieces of wrappers, 3,000 pieces of Shada and 3,000 Children wears.

The NEDC Managing Director, Mohammed Goni Alkali who presented the items on behalf of the commission to Governor Bala Mohammed at the Government House in Bauchi sympathized with the people of the state over the devastating effects of the flood in some parts of the state.

The NEDC Boss who lauded the State Governor over the state government’s efforts to contain the effects of flood in the state said that the commission wrote a letter to the state government in order to synergize by providing preventive measures to address issues of flood disaster in the future.

“One of the reasons we are here is that on the 18th of August in Maiduguri, the world humanitarian day was celebrated under the leadership of Mr President and on that occasion, we as a commission promised that we are going to show our humanitarian face to the people of the North-eastern states and we promised to provide food and Non-food items”

“The President received our pronouncement and handed it over to the Vice-Chairman of a committee he set up to settle and rehabilitate the IDPs in the Northeast. The committee is currently dissolved, but we were directed to go and give the items we promised to each state”

“The third reason why we are here, your Excellency as you know, we have many projects going on in the state, we have the road projects from Kirfi to Gombe Abba. We have the housing project going on, and we have in each of the tertiary institutions in education and health, either federal or state, projects going on. We want to discuss, articulate and come back here in no distance future to do the ground-breaking ceremonies as well as the foundation laying ceremonies for these projects,” he said

Responding, the State Governor, Bala Mohammed commended the humanitarian commission for its laudable programmes, projects and initiatives that have positively impacted the Northeast region that has been ravaged by activities of insurgency.

Governor Mohammed who noted that the NEDC is one of the legacies President Muhammadu Buhari will leave behind in the country, appreciated the gesture of the commission, saying that the donation was timely, considering the extent of damages wrecked by the flood in the state.

“What you have brought is beyond our expectations, but like Oliver Twist, we have written to you already, even before you sent a letter. Again, you wrote a letter immediately after this flood that happened in the country.

“I want to appreciate your observations and condolences because lives and properties were lost. Some of our local government were cut off and they are in the Northern part of the country”

” You cannot go to Zaki local government now, you have to go through Jigawa or Kano state and even the contiguous local government, are not connected.

“The Wash-out was so monumental because of the flood coming from Jama’re and Ningi rivers and this is because we have not been able to provide water resource solution to the amount of flood that is coming around this area,” he said.

(230716) -- MANGSHI, July 16, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Yin Mingyan shows samples of crystal meth in Mangshi City, southwest China's Yunnan Province, July 13, 2023. Yin Mingyan is the deputy head of a law-enforcing team under a border management bureau in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province.
Back in 1997 when she was still in high school, she lost her brother Yin Mingzhi, a counter-narcotics officer who was seriously wouded and killed while arresting drug traffickers.
She joined the military upon graduation in 1998, and soon decided to fit in her brother's shoes and became a counter-narcotics officer.
She has been involved in more than 100 drug-related cases since then, resulting in the arrest of at least 230 suspects and the seizure of over 400 kilograms of drugs. (Xinhua/Hu Chao)
