The Federal Government of Nigeria has extended its deepest condolences and heartfelt solidarity to the Government and people of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, especially to the families who have lost their loved ones and those whose homes and livelihoods have been destroyed by the devastating impact of Typhoon Kajiki.
The Typhoon resulted in a landslide in Central Vietnam, causing significant loss of life, widespread displacement of communities and severe damage to properties and public infrastructure.
According to media reports, Typhoon Kajiki has caused three deaths, thirteen injuries, and damaged nearly 7,000 homes, with widespread flooding and power outages impacting the central and northern regions, including the capital, Hanoi.
The Nigerian government sympathised and commended the swift and concerted efforts of the Vietnamese authorities in leading the emergency response, undertaking evacuations and providing immediate relief to affected citizens.
A statement by Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, Spokesperson, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja, on Wednesday, expressed confidence in the resilience and strength of the Vietnamese people, as well as their capacity to overcome this adversity and rebuild their communities.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the nation during this difficult time”, the statement read.
