00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:03,319
Speaker 1: Federal Government of Nigeria has said that the flood is

2
00:00:03,359 –> 00:00:06,960
situation in my degree the Burnu State capital by far

3
00:00:07,040 –> 00:00:11,160
exceeded the estimates of the government, describing the current natural

4
00:00:11,199 –> 00:00:14,359
disaster in United States as the worst case since decades

5
00:00:14,400 –> 00:00:19,120
in the history of Nigeria. Vice President Casium Schetima met

6
00:00:19,239 –> 00:00:22,399
this NORN on Tuesday when he visited Burnust to carry

7
00:00:22,440 –> 00:00:25,559
out sport assessments of the level of damages and remedial

8
00:00:25,640 –> 00:00:29,440
actions to the flood disaster in the state capital, my Duboree,

9
00:00:29,800 –> 00:00:34,759
which numbers of houses, roads, bridges and public buildings, including

10
00:00:34,840 –> 00:00:37,600
who have been submerged by flood, motor cost by the

11
00:00:37,679 –> 00:00:42,200
collapse of the allowed dam. Vice President Casium Chatimas said,

12
00:00:42,560 –> 00:00:45,759
I am deeply devastated by the flood that has engulfed

13
00:00:45,759 –> 00:00:49,640
my Deuboree and its environs. My heart goes out to

14
00:00:49,679 –> 00:00:53,600
the families who have tragically lost their homes and livelihoods

15
00:00:53,600 –> 00:00:57,679
in this calamity. Our grief is shared, but so is

16
00:00:57,719 –> 00:01:00,920
our resolve to offer support and comfort as you begin

17
00:01:01,039 –> 00:01:05,719
to recover from this disaster. Now more than ever, we

18
00:01:05,760 –> 00:01:08,799
are compelled as a nation to come together to overcome

19
00:01:08,840 –> 00:01:12,239
the losses suffered and we are committed to finding losting

20
00:01:12,359 –> 00:01:17,079
solutions to this recurring issue. The flood, which began over

21
00:01:17,120 –> 00:01:20,319
the weekend and worsened in the following days, was the

22
00:01:20,400 –> 00:01:24,280
direct result of excess water from the allowed down The

23
00:01:24,359 –> 00:01:28,840
collapse of the spillways unleashed a significant sort of water downstream,

24
00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:33,560
causing widespread flooding in the surrounding communities. As we speak,

25
00:01:33,959 –> 00:01:37,560
efforts are ongoing to evacuate and resettle residents in the

26
00:01:37,599 –> 00:01:42,480
affected areas, while ensuring the provision of food, shelter, and

27
00:01:42,680 –> 00:01:47,640
medical assistance until the situation stabilizes. In response to our

28
00:01:47,680 –> 00:01:52,879
twenty twenty four flowed outlook, we had implemented comprehensive contingency

29
00:01:52,920 –> 00:01:58,400
plans and adopted proactive modules to mitigate potential impacts. Despite

30
00:01:58,439 –> 00:02:02,719
these preparations, the severity of this flood has far exceeded

31
00:02:02,719 –> 00:02:06,879
our estimates, marking the most catastrophic flood in Maldugree in

32
00:02:07,000 –> 00:02:11,680
over three decades. The floods on precedented skill has presented

33
00:02:11,800 –> 00:02:17,599
challenges beyond our previous experiences. Nonetheless, the federal government remains

34
00:02:17,599 –> 00:02:21,159
determined in its commitment. As with other states fast and

35
00:02:21,240 –> 00:02:25,840
similar crisis, we will continue with the plants previously initiated

36
00:02:25,919 –> 00:02:30,280
in collaboration with the Molusted Government. We are resolute in

37
00:02:30,360 –> 00:02:34,360
mobilizing all necessary resources to ensure the safety and support

38
00:02:34,400 –> 00:02:38,800
of affective persons and areas. This disaster itselves as a

39
00:02:38,840 –> 00:02:42,759
sovereign reminder of the increasing threats posed by climate change,

40
00:02:43,120 –> 00:02:48,479
not just globally, but particularly to regions like ours. Nigeria’s

41
00:02:48,560 –> 00:02:52,400
vulnerability to flood disasters has been highlighted time and again,

42
00:02:52,919 –> 00:02:57,000
as witness during the devastating floods of twenty twelve, twenty

43
00:02:57,120 –> 00:03:01,919
eighteen and twenty twenty two. The factors contributing to these

44
00:03:01,960 –> 00:03:05,439
recurring disasters are divers and it is for this reason

45
00:03:05,520 –> 00:03:09,439
that President bollat Ubo has developed a comprehensive road map

46
00:03:09,479 –> 00:03:13,280
to address these challenges. Held on in light of data

47
00:03:13,360 –> 00:03:17,439
gathered by our emergency response agencies and early warning centers,

48
00:03:17,840 –> 00:03:22,319
the government has intensified its interventions in flood prone areas.

49
00:03:22,879 –> 00:03:27,719
These areas, characterized by erratic rainfall patterns and complex river

50
00:03:27,840 –> 00:03:32,319
based dynamics, have been prioritized in our flood mitigation strategies

51
00:03:32,319 –> 00:03:38,000
to circult communities, protect agricultural zones, and reinforce critical infrastructure.

52
00:03:38,800 –> 00:03:41,680
I would like to take this opportunity to command. The

53
00:03:41,680 –> 00:03:45,280
Government of bonustads for its sweet and reflective response to

54
00:03:45,319 –> 00:03:49,800
this tragic situation. I also want to acknowledge the remarkable

55
00:03:49,840 –> 00:03:53,400
resilience of the good people of my degree and surrounding areas,

56
00:03:53,759 –> 00:03:58,879
who have demonstrated extraordinary compassion by being their labor’s keepers.

57
00:03:58,919 –> 00:04:03,800
His excellency, President Boller Telebu has not only expressed his

58
00:04:03,960 –> 00:04:07,960
deepest sympathies, but has also assured that the federal government

59
00:04:08,039 –> 00:04:13,280
will prioritize the welfare of the affected communities. In collaboration

60
00:04:13,439 –> 00:04:17,040
with Governor Professor zu Long, we are determined to ensure

61
00:04:17,040 –> 00:04:20,920
that our mitigation and recovery efforts reach every corner impacted

62
00:04:20,959 –> 00:04:24,600
by this disaster. I am in my degory to oversee

63
00:04:24,600 –> 00:04:29,720
the implementation of comprehensive flood mitigation by Jules. These margules

64
00:04:29,759 –> 00:04:33,319
will be in line with our flowed outlook reports, which

65
00:04:33,360 –> 00:04:38,839
are informed by historical data, climate forecasts, and hydrological modeling

66
00:04:39,160 –> 00:04:42,439
to provide a clear path forward in managing the varying

67
00:04:42,519 –> 00:04:47,120
degrees of flowed risks across different regions and turnlines. We

68
00:04:47,199 –> 00:04:50,920
will overcome the stragedy as long as our results remains strong,

69
00:04:51,439 –> 00:04:54,439
as long as we remain united, as long as we

70
00:04:54,519 –> 00:04:59,120
remain compassionate, and as long as we prioritize strategic actions

71
00:04:59,160 –> 00:05:03,519
to emerge from them even stronger than ever, says one
