President Bola Tinubu on Monday said the Federal Government would create a disaster relief fund to assist Nigerian citizens impacted by floods and other disasters.
The President made the announcement when he visited Borno to sympathise with the government and people over the flooding in some parts of the state occasioned by Alau Dam.
He said the fund was expedient as the climate had become more unpredictable and many places in the country were vulnerable to its vagaries.
He said the Federal Government would collaborate with the private sector to establish the fund.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, who accompanied the President on the visit, said the National Assembly would collaborate with the Executive to establish the Fund.
