The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA)  in IIorin has presented relief materials worth millions of naira  to flood victims in Kwara State.

The materials were presented by  the NEMA Zonal Coordinator,  Mr  Ishaya Chonoko, to the Special Adviser,  Emergency and Relief Services to the state governor, Alhaji Musa Abdullahi.

The items  included over 200 bags of rice, 350 mattresses, clothes and food items.

Chinoko said the items  were provided to meet the immediate needs of the victims in the five affected council areas.

He said NEMA presented the materials to complement what the Federal Government, state government  and corporate bodies had already  provided for the victims.

Chinoko  advised  government  to ensure that the materials were distributed on time to the victims in  the affected local government areas of the state.

Responding, Abdullahi thanked NEMA for the  gesture and assured NEMA  that the materials would be delivered to all  genuine victims.

He called on wealthy individuals and corporate organisations in the state to assist the victims, saying government alone could not solve the problems  facing  flood victims.
