 Members of the House of Representatives Committee on Ecological Fund have accused the management of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, of selective distribution of 12,000 metric tons of grains as relief for food flood victims.

In the whole of my area, we don't have any Assembly member and you said you formed a Assembly member from my state and I'm here and it's my own federal constituency that is swallowed up by the flood. In his submissions to Director-General Neymar informed the committee of its agency's prompt response to save lives of Nigerians and safeguard their livelihoods. He said his agency early warning alerts to state governments helped to minimize the impact of impending flood disaster as predicted by Neymar and NIHSA. If a hot in a village catches fire, they'll call Neymar. Anything that happens anywhere within the state is Neymar that interferes.
