The relief items, according to Fanwo, include foodstuffs such as rice, Semovita, and beverages, alongside medical supplies, mosquito nets, mattresses, and other household essentials. The state government partnered with a major service provider to ensure the timely delivery of these supplies to displaced individuals.

“The Kogi State 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,” he said.
“We are doing our best, but we cannot do it all alone. We urge all well-meaning individuals and organizations to support us in providing for those affected by this natural disaster,” Fanwo added.
