He is currently engaged in discussions with the Works and Housing Ministry to evaluate the banks of the River Dayi, aiming to implement measures to prevent future flood incidents. During a media visit to the affected areas, Tsekpo noted that the tour went beyond merely distributing relief items, with the aim of integrating victims back into their communities. He stressed that businesses and livelihoods were also hit, prompting necessary actions to provide appropriate assistance.\n\nMunicipal Chief Executive Prosper Kumi announced plans for a fumigation exercise in the impacted regions, alongside a health screening for affected households. Gbi Bla Electoral Area Assembly member Rafiu Adam highlighted the loss of valuables, stating that temporary relief items were distributed by the MP, the Municipal Chief Executive, and the National Aids Control Organization (NADMO) to ensure the safety of the victims. Designated areas like classrooms and mosques were made available as safe havens.\n\nVictim Abdulai Gafaru urged authorities to widen the drainage works within his community to facilitate the free flow of water. Madam Salisu Aisha, another victim, expressed surprise at the sudden incident and lamented losing only their cooking utensils after being stripped of everything else. She appealed for any form of support to help them recover. Abdul Rahman Yunus, also a victim, called for assistance to enable the affected individuals to regain their footing.
