The member representing Wudil/Garko federal constituency at the National Assembly, Muhammad Ali-Wudil, has distributed 278 bags of rice to victims affected by the recent flood disaster in Wudil Local Government Area of the state.

During the presentation, the lawmaker who was represented by Alhaji Haladu Ishak said that the donation is to mitigate the suffering of the victims.

He noted that the flood which occurred some days ago across nine communities had adverse effects on the people. Hence, the need to come to their rescue.

The affected areas, according to Ishak, are Kofar Yamma, Dugurawa, Dafawa, Tsibiri, Fangale, Gaban komi, Gorubobi, Babilon and Gandu.

“The lawmaker is worried over the incident that affected many residents of the areas, so he therefore, set up a 5-man committee to assess the level of damage.

“Myself as the Chairman of the committee, we went round to sympathise with the affected people and also we now provided rice as first form of assistance,” Ishak said.

He further revealed that the issue has been presented before the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) for intervention.

While responding to the good gesture, the District Head of Wudil, Alhaji Abba Muhammad, said the gesture will go a long way in alleviating the hardships encountered by the victims.

He then called on beneficiaries to make proper use of the item.

The beneficiaries who showed their sense of appreciation lauded the lawmaker for the gesture and called on the government, politicians and wealthy individuals to do the same.
