Vice-President Kashim Shettima visited Maiduguri on Tuesday to sympathise with the people of Borno over the Alau dam flood disaster that displaced thousands of people.

Mr Kashim, who led a federal government delegation to the beleaguered city, was received by Governor Babagana Zulum, who took him to the palace of the Shehu of Borno, Abubakar El-Kanemi, which was also hit by the flood.

From the palace, the vice-president drove to Bakassi camp, where thousands of those displaced by the flood were taking refuge.

Mr Shettima told the distraught victims that the government would support them with 50 trucks of rice.

He added that the government would also collaborate with the North-East Development Commission and other agencies to ensure they did not spend more than two weeks at the camp.

Maiduguri residents on Tuesday woke up to devastating floods that swallowed many buildings and took over roads and bridges.
