President Bola Tinubu has condoled with the Jigawa government and the people of the state over the recent flooding that led to the loss of lives and displacement of many citizens.

In a statement on Wednesday by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, the President also commiserated with the bereaved families and victims of the flooding, which impacted 14 local government areas and many households.

Mr Ngelale said, “President Tinubu states that recurring environmental disasters underscore the urgency of sustaining measures to address climate change and its perils as well as remove man-made elements from the challenge. The President prays for the repose of the souls of the deceased and assures the people of Jigawa of his administration’s support at this difficult time.’’
