Zamfara Governor Visits Flood-Ravaged Communities in Gummi LGA, Donates N100 Million and Relief Items

On Saturday, Governor Dauda Lawal conducted an on-the-spot assessment of communities ravaged by flooding in the Gummi Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

Heavy rainfall last week flooded some communities in the Gummi Local Government Area, submerging many houses.

A statement by the Governor's spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, said that Governor Lawal’s entourage began with a homage to the palace of the Emir of Gummi, His Royal Highness Justice Lawal Hassan.

According to the statement, the Governor toured Gummi town to express sympathy with the flooding victims before proceeding to Gayari town to assess the extent of the damage.

Governor Lawal expressed deep concern after the assessment of the damage caused by the flooding. He mentioned that a team of engineers had already surveyed the areas to find a lasting solution.

“Today, I am in Gummi Local Government Area to offer my condolences and conduct an on-the-spot assessment of the communities devastated by flooding caused by heavy rainfall last week."

“Immediately after I learned about the unfortunate incident, I sent two of my commissioners to visit and offer condolences to the affected communities."

“After the Deputy Governor’s visit, I dispatched a team of engineers to examine and evaluate the root causes of the flooding."

“It is important to note that I have instructed the immediate commencement of work to prevent such a situation."

“I want to take this opportunity to inform you that I have donated 10,000 bags of food, including rice, maize, and millet, to be distributed among the flood victims. The trucks are already on the way to Gummi for distribution."

“I am also, on behalf of the Zamfara State Government, supporting the affected victims with N100 million. In addition, all affected victims will be allocated lands away from the danger zone so that they can build new houses.”
