The Federal Government has expressed sincere condolences to the government and people of South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe following the tragic loss of life in the recent devastating floods that have claimed the lives of more than one hundred persons and displaced thousands across parts of Southern Africa.
In a statement issued by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nigeria commiserates with the affected countries over the immense human and material losses arising from the floods, which have overwhelmed rivers, damaged roads and bridges, displaced large populations, and disrupted agricultural production and essential services.
Nigeria also notes with concern the secondary humanitarian impacts, including food insecurity, disease outbreaks, and the heightened vulnerability of women, children, and other at-risk populations.
The Government of Nigeria expresses solidarity with the ongoing rescue, evacuation, and relief efforts being undertaken by national authorities, regional institutions, and international humanitarian partners.
