 President Muhammad Buhari has promised to intervene on the issue of flood ravaging states across the country. Floods in several states have recently caused significant damage. The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, claims that as a result over 300 people have died and numerous people have been displaced. The president has received complaints from state governors about the effect of the flooding and they have requested that the government step in and provide special funding to solve the issue. Buhari urged the governors to consult with the minister of water resources and come up with long-term solutions while speaking at a state house gathering in Abuja. In order to improve the situation of those affected by the floods, he suggested that the federal government be informed of the remedies, promising that the government would act as soon as the report was submitted. The governor of Sokoto Aminutemboal said the flooding has created a frightening scenario for food security in the country. The flood change and the release of the Lago Dam in Cameroon is said to have resulted in flooding which has had a significant impact on communities across the country.
