Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno has pleaded for support from the National Agency for Great Green Wall (NAGGW) in reducing flood incident and other environmental challenges in the state.

Zulum made the plea in Maiduguri on Thursday while receiving a delegation of NAGGW, who paid him a sympathy visit over the Alau Dam flood disaster that hit the state capital.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the flood, which occured on Sept. 10, had led to the death of many people, while property worth billions of Naira destroyed.

Zulum appreciated the active support of the agency, especially its recent launching of three million tree planting campaign in Borno.

He explained that his administration had also set up a green wall agency as part of commitment to protect the environment.

The governor lauded the concern shown by the delegation, who brought food and non food items for the flood victims, and assured them of judicious utilisation of the support.

Earlier, the leader of the delegation, Dr Habiba Ibrahim, who is the Director Operations of the agency, commiserated with the government and people of Borno over the flood incident.

She said the agency, as stakeholders in tackling ecological challenges, would collaborate with the state government in taking measures to mitigate flooding and other challenges.

She announced the donation of 80 bags of rice, 60 cartons of macaroni/spaghetti, 60 cartons of vegetable oil, 60 stoves, 600 buckets, 180 mats and 60 pots among others. (NAN)
