“In the address she delivered on behalf of the Acting Zonal Coordinator Ngozi Echeazu, she stated that the issuance of relief items to Enugu State was based on the assessment conducted by the zone where there were reported cases of flood disasters in some LGAs of the state.
“The items were in line with the Agency mandate to ensure that all affected communities were provided with necessary short, medium and long term support to enable them recover from the disaster.
“Major Highlights of the occasion were the inspection of the relief materials.
“The relief intervention by the Federal Government through NEMA is not a compensation, but rather a fulfilment of the Federal Governments responsibility to support the welfare and wellbeing of Nigerian citizens wherever they live.”
