President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Maiduguri to condole with the government and people of the state over the Alau Dam flood disaster.
Tinubu, who was received on arrival by Governor Babagana Zulum, is scheduled to pay a courtesy call on the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Umar-Garbai El-Kaneni, from where he is expected to proceed to one of the camps to address Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
The flood which submerged almost half of Maiduguri city led to loss of lives and properties.
So far the Borno Government has opened 36 camps to cater for thousands of IDPs.
President Bola Tinubu had earlier expressed deep concerns over the flooding and tasked relevant government agencies to expedite rescue efforts, and called for the immediate evacuation of residents in communities overtaken by floods.
