A Member of the House of Representatives, representing Ilorin East/South Federal Constituency,
Dr. Ahmed Yinka Aluko, has commended Kwara State State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for providing relief to the victims of the recent rainstorm that destroyed several houses across Ilorin metropolis, the State capital.
Dr. Aluko, in a statement, who expressed the gratitude of his constituents to the Governor as well as the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) for their prompt actions, revealed that upon getting a distress call from his constituents in the wake of the disaster that blew off the roofs of numerous buildings across the state, he conducted an on-site inspection of the affected houses in the constituency.
He stated that the extent of the damages was too extensive for him alone to address immediately, adding that he had to forward the report of the damages, especially in the Ilorin South local government area, to the state government through the Secretary to the State government.
He noted that Governor AbdulRazaq upon receipt of the report instructed the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) to analyse the data and provide appropriate relief materials to the affected communities.
He said: “The relief materials designated for Ilorin South were delivered to my office and I promptly assigned the coordination of their distribution to two of my aides, Hon. Lekan KawuKano and Hon. Abdullahi Galadima, based on the compiled inspection data.
“These relief items include 150 bundles of roofing sheets, as well as sacks of nails and other necessary accessories.”
While extolling the Governor for his responsiveness to the plight of the people, he urged the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the provided materials, while also extending his heartfelt wishes for more blessings from Allah.
