The North-Central coordinator of NEMA, Eugene Nyelong, said the initiative was part of the agency’s preparedness against floods as waste usually blocked waterways.
“Similarly, it is an expression of the federal government’s concern for the welfare and dignity of the people under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.”
Mr Ngelale said the new DG of NEMA has over 20 years of work experience in diverse fields.
The 2022 flood in Taraba destroyed farms and households in 12 local government areas and killed 14 people, rendering over 300,000 people homeless.
