“About 1,000 Households are to benefit from the intervention and it is not meant to compensate for what you lost but to identify and express Federal Government’s sympathy.

“As we are presenting this intervention, the agency is appealing to the communities to stop building shelters on waterways and blocking drainages to avoid and control future occurrence,” Midala said.

Responding on behalf of the Adamawa state and the affected local government areas, Dr Mohammad Sulaiman, Executive Secretary, Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency (ADSEMA) described the intervention as ‘Gigantic effort.’

Sulaiman promised that the items would reach residents of the affected communities as the government had already set up a committee to monitor the distribution of the items.

“In 2020 about 11 people including three infants lost their lives to the floods, while many houses, bridges, and thousands of farmlands were destroyed by the flood in the state,” Sulaiman said.

That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha...
