By Nkechi Eze

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has recently conducted assessments of the devastating flood impacts in Anambra and Bayelsa States, as part of its proactive efforts to enhance flood preparedness, response, and recovery this year. This move aims to evaluate the effects of the floods on residents and infrastructure, ultimately informing relief and rehabilitation initiatives.

The assessments were carried out in collaboration with State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMAs), the Nigerian Red Cross Society, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

In Anambra, NEMA focused on eight Local Government Areas (LGAs)—Ogbaru, Anambra East, Anambra West, Ayemelum, Awka North, Ihiala, Idemili South, and Ekwusigo.

The assessments aimed to evaluate the extent of the damage, including the number of affected households, fatalities, missing persons, and the destruction of homes and farmland. Chief Paul Odenigbo, the Executive Secretary of Anambra SEMA, expressed appreciation for NEMA’s response.

In Bayelsa, the assessment covered 54 communities across seven LGAs: Sagbama, Kulokuma/Opokuma, Southern Ijaw, Ogbia, Ekeremor, Yenagoa, and Brass. 

Some of the communities visited include Asamabiri, Kaiama, Amasoma, Toron Ndoro, and Igbogene, among others. The Bayelsa SEMA was represented a Director Dr. Dio Wenapere, who led the state’s team in working alongside NEMA.

The Director-General NEMA, Mrs. Zubaida Umar, emphasized the importance of harmonizing data with SEMAs and partners to accurately assess the scale of the disaster, ensuring a more coordinated and effective response. 

She reassured that NEMA remains committed to efficient disaster management and will continue to collaborate with stakeholders to provide necessary support where needed.
