She decried low awareness among the public on proactive measures against disaster in the state.

She explained that her office is collaborating with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and other stakeholders to increase awareness on disaster management and proactive measures especially at communities across the state.

The special adviser also thanked donor organisations and philanthropists for supporting disaster victims in the state.

Recall that the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Alhaji Nasiru Magarya on Thursday led the state government delegation to sympathise with the victims in Zurmi, where he presented the relief materials donated by the government.
