The European Union has promised to lender technical assistance to support the revival of communities ravaged by the recent flood disaster in Nigeria.

The National Emergency management Agency (NEMA) made this statement in Abuja on Thursday, noting that a team of experts from the EU had arrived Nigeria to meet with the relevant agencies and other stakeholders as well as visit some of the affected communities.

According to the statement which was signed by Mr. Sani Datti, NEMA’s Information Officer, the EU would assist in emergency planning and procedures including coordination and communication between the different regional stakeholders.

It also revealed that the team would also identify lessons learnt from the previous floods, assess the risk and map out hydro-geological risks and related industrial hazards.
