Immediate past President of the Senate, Senator David Mark has called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to help Benue state out of the current flood disaster, which ravaged parts of the State .
IDOMA VOICE reports that thousands of citizens have been rendered homeless as hundreds of houses and other properties were submerged by the flood largely influenced by the torrential rainfall.
Mark in a statement by his spokesman, Paul Mumeh, sympathized with the government and people of Benue state, describing the disaster as monumental.
He therefore urged the National Emergency Management Agency ( NEMA) to intervene by bringing relief materials for the thousands of citizens already displaced by the flood.
He said, “Senator Mark also enjoined organizations and good spirited individuals to render assistance to the flood ravaged communities in the state.
“The former Senate helmsman however counseled citizens to adhere strictly to town planning rules and regulations for buildings as part of measures to prevent reoccurrence of such disaster.”
Benue state was one of the states ravaged by flood in the 2012 disaster believed to have been orchestrated by the release of water from the Lagbo Dam in Cameroun .
