About 70% of Many States Submerged – President
President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said 50 to 70 per cent of many states in the country had been submerged by floods.
He said since the compilation of data on the victims were still ongoing and there was a strong possibility that the figure might be more than that.
Jonathan spoke at the Presidential Villa, Abuja while inaugurating the National Committee on Flood Relief and Rehabilitation, which he set up to raise fund to augment government’s efforts at mitigating the pains of the floods.
The President said his major concern was how to resettle the displaced persons immediately the floods receded.
