The National Emergency Management Agency NEMA has commenced the distribution of relief materials in communities ravaged by floods and to cushion the economic effects of subsidy removal in Gombe State.
Thirteen thousand individuals and families would receive this aid from the federal government as Gombe state concludes plans to roll out its own economic support.
Several months before the rainy season, floods were predicted in many states across the country.
Gombe with its loose soil is prone to erosion and notorious for its deep, winding gullies.
A major flood disaster was just a tragedy waiting to happen.
Many individuals and families have lost their farm produce and some, their homes.
The additional impact of the fuel subsidy removal has made a difficult situation much harder.
The federal government through NEMA has come to their aid.
The Gombe state government which carried out the impact assessment and enumeration of beneficiaries, is delighted by the prompt federal intervention.
Gombe State government has announced the planned rollout of palliatives to flood victims and also to cushion the economic effects of subsidy removal.
