The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency says there is no official communication yet on plans to provide relief materials or compensation to residents who lost valuables and property during the recent flooding in parts of the state.
Speaking with PUNCH Metro in a telephone interview on Thursday, the spokesperson for LASEMA, Afolabi Olawale, said the agency had not received any official directive on the issue.
“As of now, there is no official statement. As you’re talking now, there is no official communication to disseminate on that issue. When it is available, we will disseminate it,” Olawale said.
The response came after the National Emergency Management Agency, in collaboration with LASEMA, carried out a joint assessment of communities affected by the recent flooding to determine the extent of the damage and identify the immediate needs of victims.
