The Director General, NEMA, Zubaida Umar said “Though our work is far from being done and our round-the-clock emergency response, monitoring, and assessment continues, it’s important to provide some updates.
“First is the relieving observation that the flood level in Maiduguri is receding, and normalcy is beginning to return to the metropolis”
Victims of the state are also currently being sheltered in 8 camps provided by the state government.
Also, as part of efforts to prevent the outbreak of water-borne diseases that are associated with flooding, NEMA has deployed three water purification trucks to the city, and are partnering with chemical companies for the purification of household water.
