While presenting the items to the affected people at Omu-Aran, headquarters of Irepodun LGA, NEMA's Director General, AVM Muhammadu Mohammed, said the gesture followed an assessment report received by the agency.

The NEMA DG, who was represented by Wagami Lydia, Head, Minna Operations Office of NEMA, said a large number of people in four local government areas were affected.
