By Emmanuel Kwada

Prominent entrepreneur and clean energy advocate Muhammad Gidado Modibbo has expressed profound grief over the recent communal clashes in Lamurde Local Government Area and the devastating floods that have wreaked havoc in Yola, Adamawa State.

In a heartfelt statement issued on Monday, Modibbo described the twin crises as “heartbreaking” and urged immediate action to support affected communities.

“I am heartbroken by the devastating floods that have displaced families and destroyed homes across Yola,” Modibbo said. “Equally troubling are the violent clashes in Lamurde, where lives and property have been lost. No one should have to live in fear within their own community.”

The floods in Yola have submerged homes and displaced dozens of residents, while the violent clashes in Lamurde have resulted in multiple casualties and significant property damage.

Modibbo called on the Adamawa State Government, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), and humanitarian organizations to provide urgent relief, including shelter, food, and medical assistance, to those affected.

Beyond immediate aid, Modibbo emphasized the need for long-term solutions, including investments in flood-resilient infrastructure and community dialogue to prevent future conflicts.

We need to come together—across government, traditional institutions, and civil society—to protect our people and build a safer, more resilient future for Adamawa

“This is a time for unity, compassion, and action,” he stated. “We need to come together—across government, traditional institutions, and civil society—to protect our people and build a safer, more resilient future for Adamawa.”

Modibbo extended his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and reaffirmed his commitment to supporting peace-building efforts and climate-resilient development in Adamawa State.

As the region grapples with these crises, his call for unity and proactive measures resonates as a rallying cry for collective action.
