NATASHA HELPS SECURE NEMA RELIEF FOR FLOOD-HIT COMMUNITIES IN KOGI

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has facilitated the distribution of National Emergency Management Agency relief materials to flood-affected households in Ajaokuta Local Government Area of Kogi State.

The Kogi Central lawmaker said the assistance was intended to ease hardship for residents whose homes and livelihoods were damaged by flooding.

In a statement issued on Thursday by her media aide, Mike Idoko, the senator described her role as a personal intervention rather than a constituency project.

She said support for disaster victims should go beyond political considerations, with priority given to the needs of affected families.

Akpoti-Uduaghan thanked NEMA for supplying the materials and called for stronger cooperation between emergency agencies and elected representatives.

She also urged authorities to look beyond immediate relief and support the rebuilding of damaged homes.

“Our people deserve more than temporary relief,” she said, adding that reconstruction would help families regain their homes, dignity and sense of security.

The materials are intended to meet urgent household needs, while her call for rebuilding focuses on the communities’ longer-term recovery.
