President Bola Tinubu has ordered that integrity tests be carried out on all dams in the country to prevent future disasters.<\/p>\n

This comes after the Alau Dam in Maiduguri cracked on September 10, leading to severe flooding in the state.<\/p>\n

The flood displaced over one million people who had to seek shelter in different Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, camps.<\/p>\n

Tinubu, during his 64th Independence anniversary speech, said his administration has been responding to natural disasters, particularly the aforementioned flood.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cOur government has been responding to the recent natural disasters, particularly the flooding in parts of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur government has also ordered integrity tests of all our dams in the country to avert future disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tinubu also emphasised that his administration will always stand with the people in their times of trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Vice President Kashim Shettima visited Maiduguri, I also visited to assure our people that this federal government will always stand with our people in their times of trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the last meeting of the Federal Executive Council, we approved a Disaster Relief Fund to mobilise private and public sector funds to help us respond faster to emergencies.\u201d<\/p>\n
