NEMA conducts on-the-spot assessment in flood-ravaged Plateau communities.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) Jos Operations Office has conducted an on-the-spot assessment of flood-ravaged communities in Shendam Local Government Area of Plateau State. 

This follows a recent windstorm that destroyed over 50 houses and several hectares of rice farms, which were washed away by floods in Shimankar, Kalong, and Anguwan Dadi villages, among others.

The assessment was carried out at the weekend by NEMA's team, led by Chief Relief and Rehabilitation Officer, Judith Bai, in collaboration with officials from the local government area and the Local Government Emergency Management Committee (LEMC). 

Speaking to the team, the Village Head of Shemankkat, Miskoom Maurice M. Danjuma, who expressed concern over the impact on the people's livelihoods, appealed for assistance from NEMA, state and federal governments, and relevant bodies.

On his part, the Local Government Secretary, Chris Nettiem, commended NEMA's prompt response to the disaster and assured the council's continued partnership in addressing the plight of the affected communities.
