FCT sets up ad-hoc committee on tremors preparedness

The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Department says it has set up an ad-hoc Committee on Emergency Preparedness to sensitise residents on what to do during and after the tremors.

This was revealed in a statement signed by the Agency’s Head of Public Affairs, Nkechi Isa, on Wednesday, following a meeting with stakeholders on recent vibrations in some parts of Mpape, Katampe and Maitama.

Residents in Mpape and surrounding communities have been in panic following recurrent tremors experienced in the area within the last three days.

However, the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency had urged residents not to panic, noting that the tremors were low and posed no threats.
