Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has commiserated with President Muhammadu Buhari after severe floods claimed many lives and affected millions in the country.
Kishida, in a message issued on Wednesday, expressed deep sadness over ”the recent floods caused by heavy rainfall in many states in the Federal Republic of Nigeria which have claimed many precious lives and forced many people to evacuate.”
He said: ”On behalf of the Government and the people of Japan, I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to those who lost their lives and their bereaved families.

The torrential rains this year and the opening of the Lagdo Dam by Cameroonian authorities contributed in the heavy flooding, according to reports.
