The apex religious body said victims of the deadly floods across the nation were in dire need of financial support.The cleric lamented the number of people displaced, as well as homes, businesses, farmlands, and worship centres damaged. Okoh said the committee should consist of eminent and wealthy Nigerians, who will mobilise assistance from the public and private sectors.
“Diligent intervention by all stakeholders will reduce the burden imposed by the natural disaster”, he noted.He called for an improved warning system, flood-resilient buildings, and increased spending on flood defences.“The authorities should stop at nothing to restore rivers to their natural courses and introduce water storage areas.
“Apart from clearing the drainage, the government should also embark on public enlightenment about citizens’ responsibilities.”
