The recent flood in Maiduguri, Borno State, has left a trail of destruction and death, prompting the Association of Communication Scholars & Professionals of Nigeria (ACSPN) to call for immediate action from the government.
The flood has resulted in loss of lives and destruction of property, with many residents, including media workers and scholars, displaced and forced into emergency camps.
Dr. Solomon A. Oyeleye, General Secretary of ACSPN in a statement on Sunday said, “We are distressed by the devastating impact of the flood, which has resulted in loss of lives and destruction of property. We commend the swift response of the government, but we urge that no efforts be spared until all victims are attended to and safe.”
Oyeleye praised the courage and commitment of media workers and scholars who are braving challenging conditions to cover the disaster and provide accurate information to the public.
“We salute their courage and commitment to the profession and wish them safety in the course of duty,” he said.
ACSPN is calling on the federal and state governments to provide immediate attention to the needs of media professionals and scholars affected by the flood, ensuring they can continue delivering quality services.

“The federal and state governments should accord immediate and specific attention to the gapping needs and plights of the families of media professionals and scholars in the flood-ravaged environment,” Oyeleye urged.

“We call on the federal and state governments to redouble their efforts in dealing with the issue of flooding across Nigeria as a way of continually safeguarding the lives and property of citizens,” Oyeleye said.
