The Borno State Flood Relief Distribution Committee has initiated the verification process for over 7,000 victims affected by recent flooding in Limanti Ward, within the Maiduguri Metropolitan Council.
The exercise is being conducted at Abubakar ibn Garbai Elkanemi primary school.
This marks the second verification effort, following the earlier assessment in Gwange 1, where Governor Babagana Zulum launched the distribution exercise.
As part of the process, the names of those impacted have been publicly displayed at the district head’s palace for verification and feedback.
