The National Emergency Management Agency has presented building materials worth millions of naira to the Zamfara state government as part of efforts to assist in rebuilding the state’s Radio House which was destroyed by fire in March.
The Director-General of NEMA, Alhaji Sani Sidi, was represented by the Coordinator, Sokoto Operation Office of the agency, Thickman Tanimu, who presented the materials to the state government in Gusau, citing it as a sign of sympathy over the disaster.
He said “we are presenting these building materials to the state government as our own assistance. As we all know, NEMA as a disaster management agency, only gives assistance to cushion the effect of disasters but it cannot replace what has been lost.”
The Managing Director of Zamfara Radio and Television Services, Alhaji Nuhu Anka, who received the materials, commended NEMA for the gesture, and disclosed that in spite of the fire incident, the management of the radio station had been able to run the station through the support of the state government.
