About 300 farmers and settlers at Bazua in the Binduri District of the Upper East Region have received food stuffs and other relief support from Central Government; eight months after the Bagre Spillage submerged several hectares of farm lands and displaced them.
Some of the flood victims in the Bazua area who were badly hit by the flood complained bitterly about government’s inability to come to their aid since the disaster struck in September 2020.
The District Deputy Director of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), Azimbe Daniel led a delegation to distribute the relief items to the affected farmers and settlers.
The relief support included 300 bags of rice, 400 bags of maize, 60 boxes of cooking oil, 9 bags of beans, clothes, plastic buckets, basins, bowls, cups, mosquito nets and coils, blankets, mats among others.
Azimbe Daniel appealed to government and philanthropists to come in their aid of the farmers  since they lost lots of yields and may are not able to have enough to buy farm inputs and equipment for this farming season Activities.
He said, “We [NADMO] appeal to government and NGOs to come to the aid of the famers to enable them do farming this season, this support could come in the form of cash and other farm inputs. This will help the farmers to continue farming this season despite the fact that they couldn’t have enough yields last farming season.”
Beneficiary farmers thanked the government for the support.
