Jeremiah Onolejoloni, said the commission understands the hardship people are facing. He explained that NDDC is working hard to support families and meet their basic needs.
He also said the relief materials were provided in partnership with the Derek and Davia Foundation. The items included food supplies such as rice, garri, and other essential household items to help families who lost their belongings to the flood.
