This is a Motion which should have come many years ago. I say this because disaster, as we know, is an event that occurs without somebody’s knowledge sometimes. But some disasters like floods should not take a long time to solve. I border the Kano Plains and, as a young kid, I saw my parents and other children suffering because of floods. Some were being ferried to the highlands and, up to now, many years later – that was about 40 or 50 years ago - the same things are happening."}
