Tinubu condoles Jigawa over flood disaster
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.

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.
