By BASHIR ADEFAKA
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has extended sympathies for the sea-like flooding of Pakistan, the worst natural disaster in the country’s history.
The President, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Malam Garba Shehu, noted that floods had damaged half-a-million homes, affecting about 30 million people, killing above 1,000.
The floods washed away hundreds of roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
“President Buhari says Pakistan and its population are in the thoughts and prayers of Nigerians as they confront this humanitarian disaster of epic proportions.
“He appeals to the United Nations and other Aid Agencies to take urgent steps to assist people without shelter and food as well as the millions who require urgent humanitarian relief.
