This approach ensures that the aid reaches those who are most in need and can effectively address their immediate challenges.

“We assure you that the NDDC has very good programmes for the people of the Niger Delta region and as many people as possible will benefit from the distribution of the palliatives.”
He urged community representatives in the flood-hit areas to judiciously distribute the materials, which included food and household items, farm inputs, and livelihood items such as canoes, fishing nets, and hooks, among others, to ensure that flood victims had something to fall back on after their losses.
He added, “The NDDC is not only about building roads and physical infrastructure. We also intervene in social services.InformationGuideNigeria
“We will monitor the distribution of these palliatives to ensure that they get to the affected areas. This intervention will take place in all the NDDC mandate states because the Commission was set up to address situations such as this.”
