Yakubu Maikyau, president of the Nigerian Bar Association, said aid was underway for members of the association affected by the recent floods across the country.
He informed us of this in a letter he addressed to his 125 chapters of the NBA on Monday and was received by our correspondent.
Maikyau expressed his sympathies to the Nigerian and his NBA members and said, “To the 125 branch chairman of his NBA members directly affected by the floods so that the NBA can provide some support and assistance to them and their families. I asked them to make a list.”

The letter read in part, “Nothing will ever replace the lives that have been lost, but we can help by joining hands with the relevant authorities to see that some form of material aid is made to alleviate the sufferings of the people, most especially our colleagues.
“As the government, aid agencies and well-meaning Nigerians continue to find ways to bring relief to affected persons, the NBA calls on the relevant authorities to look into the planning of all Nigerian towns and cities with a view to creating or implementing the plan for natural waterways which serve as precautionary measures against flooding.”
Maikyau advised Nigerians to follow weather updates, flood alerts, and comply with other recommended safety procedures.
