“We want to seize this opportunity to on behalf of Mr President to convey the appreciation of Nigerian government and her people, to the President and the people of UAE.


“We believe that this will go a long way in ameliorating the sufferings of the people affected by this recent flood,” he said.


Dunoma said that the items would be distributed to Nigerians affected by the floods.


The Director -General of NEMA, Mrs Zubaida Umar, said that the relief materials would immediately be distributed to Borno and other states affected by flood, once cleared.


“This does not only symbolise our partnership, but also a support at this dire time where so many areas of Nigeria have been flooded.


“It couldn not have come at a better time.


“I want to assure Nigerians that once we take custody of these items, they will be shared accordingly to the those affected by the flood. That is an assurance.


“This will not only stop in Maiduguri. As of yesterday, parts of Enugu State were also being flooded. So we are going to target all areas, even Kaduna was slightly flooded two days ago.


“So we are going to target thewhole country. I am sure that is what the government of UAE also wants us to do,” she said.


According to NEMA, 29 states and 172 local government areas have been hit by flooding, affecting 1,048,312 people, displacing 625,239, and resulting in 259 deaths between April to September 2024.
