Flood: President Buhari to review loan burden on Kebbi farmers
We feel so pained in our hearts that the children we birthed, nursed, loved and trained would be washed away right within our home.
Rainfall is a natural occurrence we cannot control; having that understanding, we plead to the Lagos State Government to put measures in place to prevent further occurrences.
We cannot afford to lose members of our community to another flood disaster again.
We are also pleading that efforts should be intensified to find the bodies of our children for befitting burial.
