President Muhammadu Buhari has raised concerns over the sea-like flooding in Pakistan.
He described it as “the worst natural disaster in the country’s history.”
His reaction came via a statement by his Media aide, Femi Adesina late Saturday.
“Floods have damaged half-a-million homes, affecting about 30 million people, killing above 1,000. The floods have washed away hundreds of roads, bridges and other infrastructure,” he said
President Buhari said the Pakistani population are in the thoughts and prayers of Nigerians as they confront this humanitarian disaster of epic proportions.
The Nigerian leader appealed 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.
