National President of Alumni Association of Nigeria (AANI), Ambassador EO Okafor mni, National Executive Committee, and the entire membership of the association have condoled with people affected by the recent flood that ravaged the country.
Gatekeepers News reports that they extended their deepest sympathy and condolences to the government, people of Borno State, and other affected areas in the country, especially Maiduguri, Borno State, and Kafanchan, Kaduna State.
The association did this through a statement released by AANI National Publicity Secretary, Sarkin Yakin Kanwan Katsina, Brigadier General SK Usman.
AANI said, “The magnitude of this disaster is profound, resulting in extensive damage to homes and farmland and, tragically, the loss of lives. This catastrophic event has not only created significant humanitarian challenges but has also exacerbated existing security issues. A situation report by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) describes the flooding situation as a humanitarian catastrophe. “
”Our hearts go out to those who have been affected, and we fervently hope that the relief efforts by government agencies and humanitarian organisations will bring some solace and support to those who have lost loved ones and livelihoods. This disaster serves as a sad reminder of the increasing threats of climate change. We are united in our thoughts and prayers for all those enduring this hardship.”
The association further commended the efforts of Federal Government delegation, Nigerian military and all other contributors who have provided critical support during the crisis, adding that their dedication and efforts have been a beacon of hope in these trying times.
AANI further called for concerted action and support for those in need towards rebuilding and recovery.
