Following the adoption of the said motion, the Senate wrote to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, and relevant federal agencies to urgently intervene in the flooding crisis and send relief materials to affected victims.
This necessitated the visit of the Natiomal Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to victims and communities ravaged by flood in Remo and Ijebu areas of Ogun East Senatorial District.
