The Federal Government has set in motion, a National Emergency Operation Centre to coordinate responses and provide timely interventions to victims of Cholera, floods and other disasters across the country.

This was revealed in a statement by the Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), ZUBAIDA UMAR.

ZUBAIDA said the centre brought together stakeholders to review the current flood situation and strengthen mitigation and response strategies across Nigeria.

She said the centre would share information, provide timely support to affected areas, and collate and analyse flood incident data.

ZUBAIDA added that the centre would ensure that emergency responses were as accurate as possible, while emphasising the need for public awareness and proper waste management to mitigate the impact of floods.
