The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has confirmed the registration of 53, 489 Internally Displaced People (IDPS) in both Delta and Anambra States, where flood has ravaged a number of communities.
A statement signed by the head of NEMA’s public relations department, Mr Yushau Shuaib, stated that “reliefs and rehabilitation officials of NEMA confirmed that 28,764 internally displaced people were registered in 11 camps of the 14 affected local government councils in the state.”

The statement also revealed that “at least 11 pregnant women were successfully delivered of their babies in the camps with the help of paramedics.”

In Anambra State, the rescue officers are said to have confirmed the registration of 24, 721 IDPs in 21 established camps of the six affected local government councils, two of which were completely submerged.

A woman was reportedly delivered of a set of triplet in one of the camps, giving birth to three boys.

Meanwhile President Goodluck Jonathan has arrived some of the camps in Asaba, the Delta state capital as he continued his nationwide tour of some flood affected states.

The President is also expected to visit Anambra West, East and Ogbaru today as part of the inspection tour of the states affected by the current devastating floods across the country.

You see yourself. Is Government a Charity Organization ?

I jst pray and hope they are not neglected to suffer in the next few weeks when attention is shifted or the money allocated for their welfare is shared

This stories are becoming very boring

but i feel sorry for the victims

and to our incapable president keep touring round the states and keep wasting our resources in transporting yourself and your personal committee without coming up with a solution.

What kind of person is this sef?, @MOD, Operation barn PACKMAN for just a week abeg.
@post, God help us so that our leaders would do whats right for its citizens.

@packman.... must u always use large fonts unnecessarily if you have something reasonable to post in this forum?

Number of registered victims by Nema is far below the actual number. Its not more than 10% of displaced Flood victims that are in the camp. They should recount.

We are in Anambra state and to us this figures are bloated.
Please this is not census but flood haba.

So what do you think? Is Nema accurate or trying to make quick cash for themselves?

What exactly do you mean? I doubt if you have seen this flood ravaged areas. The number should've been more than this if not that majority of those affected are helping them selves outside the provided camps.

What is the purpose of registering these people?

Good development!

Must you be on the criticism side even when you know less about the subject?
