The Executive Secretary, Kano State Emergency Relief and Rehabilitation Agency, Mr. Ali Bashir, says the state government will provide assistance to victims of 2015 flood disaster next week.

Bashir gave the assurance in an interview with newsmen in Kano on Saturday.

He said people whose houses were destroyed by flood particularly in Albasu Local Government Area would be compensated.

The executive secretary, who did not disclose the details of the assistance, said: “Assistance will be given to them next week.’’

“The state government has plans for the flood victims, wait and see what will happen on Tuesday next week.”

It was gathered that most of the victims of the 2015 flood disaster in the area were still squatting with their neighbours as they could not rebuild their houses.
