Borno South senator, Ali Ndume has urged the Federal Government to establish feeding centres for victims of the flood disaster in Borno State.
Lamenting the plight of the victims on Monday in Maiduguri, the former Senate Leader called on the Federal Government to consider the flood disaster a national issue and create emergency feeding and medical centres. The senator who commended Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum for creating over 25 camps for the victims, said the Ramat Square in Maiduguri would be a good place for such, adding that emergency feeding is standard practice worldwide in times of emergencies such as flooding.
Ndume solicited for the support of wealthy Nigerians, NGOs and good-spirited citizens to support the Borno State government in addressing the destruction caused by the floods. He noted that leaders and other stakeholders from Southern Borno have initiated moves to raise funds for the victims. The Borno South lawmaker further urged the Federal Government to open makeshift medical centres that will cater to the health needs of victims in the interim.
