The Nigerian government has extended its condolences to the government and people of Vietnam, especially to the families who have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods to the devastating impact of Typhoon Kajiki.
Typhoon Kajiki caused a landslide in Central Vietnam, leaving significant loss of life, widespread displacement of communities and severe damage to properties and public infrastructure.
According to reports, Typhoon Kajiki has caused three deaths and thirteen injuries and damaged nearly 7,000 homes, with widespread flooding and power outages impacting the central and northern regions, including the capital, Hanoi.
In a statement, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, said, “Nigeria commends the swift and concerted efforts of the Vietnamese authorities in leading the emergency response, undertaking evacuations and providing immediate relief to affected citizens.
“We are confident 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,” he concluded.
