Kano Govt to launch distribution of N3 bn intervention funds for 2024 flood victims

 

The Kano State Government says it plans to launch the distribution of N3 billion intervention funds for victims of flood during the 2024 rainy season soon.

Gov. Abba Yusuf said this while declaring open the 23rd State Executive Council Meeting held at Kano Government House on Wednesday.

He said that the fund released by the Federal Government was part of a flood intervention rollout to 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory to relieve the pain of the natural disaster.

The governor said that the money remitted to the state treasury a few months ago is riped for direct distribution to affected victims across the state.

He added that the administration has kept the money appropriately to identify the real victims who will benefit from the Federal Government intervention, adding that strict compliance with accountability and responsiveness would be observed.

“Now that we are ready, we have all the lists of the victims, we know how much each victim will collect, so the distribution will commence,” the governor said.

He said that the main and sub-committees for the distribution of the donation were set up and would go across the 44 local government areas to disburse the amount to real victims.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and Kano State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) with support from intentional donor organisations tracked the areas and people affected by the flood in Kano State.
