The governor during his visit on Tuesday requested for federal aid to ameliorate the sufferings of the people of the state who are victims of this year’s flood disaster.

He, therefore, added that the President has promised to help the state and NEMA has assured that the cycle for assistance will be shorter than the regular six months.
