In a statement by the KACRAN National president, Hon Khalil Mohammed Bello issued on Thursday and made available to journalists in Damaturu, Khalil said, it is an undeniable fact that the flood in Maiduguri resulted in many loss of lives.
He said it also led to the destruction of houses, shops, properties worth billions of Naira, roads, bridges, and other infrastructural facilities.
He said many institutions, non-governmental organizations, Donor agencies, and Philanthropists instantly moved to Maiduguri from within and outside the country and actively partake in the rescue operation, which involved about two million people based on the official report from Borno State government.
He noted that amongst the Institutions that played a remarkable role in the said International rescue operation is NEDC.
“The Commission also embarked on the reconstruction of bridges affected by the water flooding in Taraba, Yobe, Bauchi, and Adamawa, in addition to the routine maintenance of most of the dilapidated roads that link the sixth North Eastern States.
