The Ahoada West Local Government Council says it has procured relief materials for distribution to flood victims in the area to ameliorate their hardship.
This was made known in Akinima in Wednesday by the flood committee members, while briefing newsmen on the efforts of the Local Government at providing succour for victims of flood in the LGA.
They said the Council Chairman, Hon Iyekor Ikporo is committed to the welfare of the people, and will spare no resources in ensuring that flood victims do not suffer hardship at this trying period.
“As a responsible and responsive administration, we won’t wait entirely for help from outside. It is the responsibility of the Government to stand with the victims at a time like this.”
“The Local Government engaged a major service provider to supply the needs of persons displaced by the unfortunate natural disaster. We are satisfied with the services provided as we look forward to more relief materials in line with our agreement with the service provider.
“The Ahoada West Local Government wishes to assure the victims that they are not alone in this trying time. We are with them and will continue to provide for their needs.
“We want to reiterate our call for assistance from the Federal Government, international organizations as well as NGOs and philanthropists to come to our aid. We are doing our best but we cannot do it all,” they added
