Borno govt constitutes flood relief committee
Governor Babagana Zulum has constituted a 32-member committee on flood disaster relief distribution for victims of the Maiduguri flood.
This was announced in a statement from the secretary to the Borno government, Bukar Tijjani.
The committee has Baba Gujubawu, the governor’s special adviser on monitoring/evaluation, as chairman, while Ibrahim Umara of the University of Maiduguri is co-chairman.
Other members include representatives of the North-East Development Commission, police, EFCC, ICPC, SSS, NSCDC, NEMA, SEMA, religious and traditional rulers, and relevant ministries, departments and agencies.
Representatives of United Nations organisations in Borno and civil society organisations will also serve as members.
The November 10 flood, caused by the collapse of the Alau dam spillway, resulted in many deaths and destruction of property yet to be quantified in Maiduguri town and environs.
