The general manager expressed the readiness of the agency to commence impact assessment in the communities to examine the level of destruction, to ensure proper distribution of relief materials to the victims.
He lauded the state government for quick intervention by setting up a  five-man committee headed by the Secretary to Osun State Government (SSG), Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, to restore permanent peace in the communities.
