We are deeply devastated by the flood that has engulfed Shuwa communities in Madagali, Adamawa State on the 26th of August and Maiduguri city and its environs from the 8th of September to date. Our hearts go out to the families who have tragically lost their loved ones, homes and livelihoods in this calamity.
The severity of this flood has far exceeded what the government and all of us estimated, making it the most catastrophic flood in Maiduguri in over three decades. The flood’s unprecedented scale has presented challenges beyond our previous experiences as more than half of the city is under water. Many lives have been lost and properties worth billions of naira, including livelihoods have been lost too.
