President Bola Tinubu has re-emphasized the need for concerted effort to address existential environmental concerns and build a more climate-resilient and adaptive society.
The President sympathizes with all victims of ravages of nature, especially bereaved families, farmers, displaced communities, and those who have lost property to flood.
A statement by the special adviser to the president on media and publicity Ajuri Ngelale says the President received the news of the devastation wreaked by floods on communities and farmlands across the country with profound grief.

The President prays for the repose of the souls of the deceased, while assuring Nigerians that his administration, through the relevant agencies, will continue to provide the needed support for victims, as well as timely warnings to mitigate the impact of environmental mishaps.
Recent data by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) indicate that lives have been lost — with thousands of hectares of farmlands damaged and thousands of people displaced by floods across the country.
