Chairman, Governing Board of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council, Hon. Bashir Sheriff Machina has extended a message of sympathy to H.E Governor Mai Mala Buni and the people of Yobe State over the recent flooding disaster which reportedly claimed lives and properties.
According to him, the increasing exposure of communities to floods requires collective efforts to address the negative impacts of all three tiers of government and the communities.
“It is disturbing to see communities in Yobe hitherto never imagined would be flooded started recording same in its most destructive forms”
“The fact that some innocent lives were consumed by the disaster made this catastrophe even more unfortunate” he added.
He commended Governor Mai Mala Buni for setting up a technical committee to fashion out ways of relocating some of the communities to better places.
“As the victims continue to grapple with the event, I pray for Almighty Allah’s divine protection against future occurrences.
