The Yobe, Adamawa, and Borno governments have rolled out various emergency response plans to tackle the impending flooding in the states.
They made this known while responding to the News of Nigeria (NAN) survey on the state government’s preparedness to tackle the natural disaster.
NAN reports that the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) and the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency have earlier predicted floods, wind, storms and prolonged dry spells in some parts of the country.
Dr Ibrahim Jalo, Director, Search and Rescue Operations, Yobe State Emergency Management Agency (YOSEMA), said the agency had deployed real-time river monitoring digital platforms in riverine communities.
