The Delta Government on Thursday distributed relief materials to victims of the 2024 flood disaster in various parts of the state.

At a ceremony in Asaba, Co-chairman of the State Flood Management Committee, Mr Terry Etacherure, presented the materials to representatives from four affected Local Government Areas.

Etacherure, who also serves as Commissioner, Bureau for Special Duties, said the items were for victims in Oshimili South, Aniocha South, Burutu, and Isoko South.

Items distributed to the council representatives included bags of rice, beans, detergents, vegetable oil, palm oil, salt, and cartons of tinned tomatoes, among others.

He noted that the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) had earlier provided relief materials to communities devastated by the 2024 flood.

Etacherure said the gesture reflects Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s firm commitment to the welfare of all residents in the state.

He urged the local government representatives to ensure the materials reach the most vulnerable in their communities.

“You should ensure that people who have not yet received assistance are also given a share,” he added.

Mr Tony Ebube, Secretary to Aniocha South Local Government Council, thanked the state for its support to flood victims.

He said the relief materials would help ease the suffering caused by the disaster.

“We assure you that the items will reach the intended beneficiaries.

“This initiative highlights Governor Oborevwori’s strong dedication to the people’s welfare and progress,” Ebube said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mr Gregory Ejehwomu, Permanent Secretary of the Bureau for Special Duties, and Mr Karo Ovemeso, SEMA Director, attended the event.
