The Nami Support Organisation has called on the Niger State Government to provide a comprehensive account of all cash donations and relief materials received and distributed to victims of the devastating Mokwa flood disaster.

The demand was contained in a statement issued in Minna by the Director-General of the organisation, Sanusi Umar, who expressed concern over what he described as omissions in the recently published list of donors and contributions made towards supporting flood victims.

According to the statement, the organisation’s principal, Muhammad Nami, the immediate past Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), donated a total of N30 million in cash and relief materials to affected communities in Mokwa.

Umar explained that the donation comprised N10 million paid into the Niger State Emergency Distress Account with First Bank on June 10, 2025, and relief materials valued at N20 million.

The relief items included 500 wrappers, 1,000 buckets, mattresses and 100 pillows.

He said the items were accompanied by a letter titled “Letter of Condolence and Support to Mokwa Flood Victims,” addressed to Governor Umaru Bago through the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA).

The letter, personally signed by Muhammad Nami on June 5, 2025, was officially received on June 11, 2025.

Umar said the call for accountability became necessary following public concerns over the omission of certain donations from the state’s recently released donor list, particularly the N30 million contribution made by Muhammad Nami through the Niger South Foundation.

According to him, despite proper documentation of the donation and widespread media coverage at the time, neither Muhammad Nami nor the Niger South Foundation was included in the official list of donors published by the state government.

He stressed that the organisation’s demand for accountability was not intended to apportion blame but to promote transparency, strengthen public confidence and ensure that all funds and relief materials donated for flood victims reached their intended beneficiaries.

The organisation therefore urged the Niger State Emergency Management Agency and other authorities managing the Mokwa Flood Relief Fund to review all records of donations received and publish an updated and comprehensive donor register reflecting all contributions, including those made by the Niger South Foundation.

Umar also reaffirmed Muhammad Nami’s commitment to supporting the people of Mokwa and Niger State, while offering prayers for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives in the disaster and for strength and comfort for affected families.

It is one year since the devastating flood that struck Mokwa in Mokwa Local Government Area of Niger State on May 28, 2025.

The disaster claimed numerous lives, destroyed homes and livelihoods, and triggered a wave of humanitarian support from individuals, organisations and government agencies across the country.
