President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has condoled with the government and the people of Jigawa State over the recent flooding that led to the loss of lives and displacement of many citizens.

In a statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President also commiserated with the bereaved families and victims of the flooding, which impacted about 14 local government areas and many households.

He stated that recurring environmental disasters underscore the urgency of sustaining measures to address climate change and its perils, as well as remove man-made elements to the challenge.

The President prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased and assures the people of Jigawa of his administration’s support at this difficult time.
