Speaker, Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Alhaji Ibrahim Balarabe Abdullahi, has donated N4million to flood victims in his constituency, Umaisha/Ugya in Toto LGA of the State.

This, the speaker said was to cushion the effects of the flooding on his people.

The speaker made the donation at the palace of HRH, Alhaji Usman Abdullahi, the Ohimege Opanda yesterday in Umaisha.

Balarabe Abdullahi (APC-Umaisha/Ugya) said the gesture was also to improve the standard of living of the flood victims and give them a sense of belonging.

“Last two weeks, the State House of Assembly came up with a resolution under matters of public importance, calling on the state government to, as a matter of urgency, come to the aid and rescue of our people that were ravaged by flood.

“The unfortunate incident (flood) did not only happen in Toto Local Government but it also happened in Nassarawa, Doma as well as Awe local government areas of the state and in some states of the federation.

“So as a follow up, I am here today to sympathise with my people who were ravaged by this unfortunate incident. I have donated N4million to them to buy food stuff in order to cushion the effect of the flooding on them,” he said.

Speaking, HRH Alhaji Usman Abdullahi, the Ohimege Opanda Umaisha, appreciated the Speaker over his good representation at the state legislature and for always coming to the aid of his people.
