Displaced flood victims taking refuge at camps in Otu-Jeremi and Okwagbe towns, Delta State, yesterday, received relief items donated by the NPDC/ND Western joint partners.
According to the Manager, Government, Community Relations and Security of NEPL/ND Western OML 34 AM, Mr Sheidu Aiguedo, the items donated included cows, rice, beans, garri and others, worth about N20 million.
Aiguedo who described the flood as “the worst experience in many years in this country” said many of the flood victims who are stakeholders in the firm’s areas of operation were severely impacted by the flood, as many of them lost their farms and crops.
“We recognize that it would be difficult for them to at least be able to farm as their farmlands have been overtaken by flood, we all know that their major plant is cassava, and when you have such plants emersed in flood it becomes a serious problem.
