Expressing his grief, Dr. Frazier stressed the need for proactive measures. 鈥淚'm deeply saddened by this tragedy.

Climate change has made such disasters unpredictable, but preparedness can reduce suffering.鈥
He pledged AUN鈥檚 continued partnership, announcing plans to return and assess the community鈥檚 most urgent needs, including potential infrastructure or relief support.
In response, Village Head Malam Abdulmumini Abubakar thanked AUN for its longstanding solidarity. 鈥淎UN has always stood with us, paying school fees for our children, repairing our borehole, and more. This visit gives us hope that we won鈥檛 face this rebuilding process alone.鈥
