NEDC to rehabilitate 300 households displaced by windstorm

The North East Development Commission on Thursday said it would rehabilitate over 300 households displaced by windstorms in the Garba Chede community of the Bali LGA in Taraba.
Batulu Isa, deputy director of relief and mediation of the commission, said this after an assessment visit by officials of the commission to the affected community.
Ms Isa assured the victims that the commission would do everything within its reach to bring succour to victims of the windstorm within the shortest possible time.
She said that the delegation would submit its report to the commission for necessary action, which includes support in areas of food and non-food items.
“We have been delegated by the NEDC to visit this community and assess the level of damage caused by the windstorm. We have taken our data already, and we shall report back to the commission for onwards action.
“I want to assure you that the commission will respond as quickly as possible by providing food items, non-food items and building materials to the victims.
“The leadership of the commission led by Mohammed Alkali, the managing director and CEO is very worried about this sad situation,” she said.
Hashimu Abdulkadir, one of the traditional leaders in the affected community, said that six people lost their lives, with 30 others sustaining various degrees of injuries.
He lauded NEDC for its response and appealed to other organisations and individuals, particularly the Taraba government and politicians, to also intervene in providing support.
