Vice President KASHIM SHETTIMA has said that the Federal Government is partnering with the 36 states of the federation to address the challenges of flood and other natural disasters.

This, he said, explains why President BOLA TINUBU recently approved the sum of N3bn for each state to tackle natural disasters such as flooding.

SHETTIMA stated this when he received Speaker of the House of Representatives, TAJUDEEN ABBAS, who paid him a commiseration visit at the presidential villa, Abuja.

Responding to the Speaker’s commiserations, SHETTIMA described the Borno flood disaster as a national calamity that befell not just the state but the entire country.
