“This survey will help us to know the impact of floods, it will help us to know the impact of the flood on Nigerians, the poverty rate and the rate of unemployment in the country.

“It will also help to know and get responses on the issue of remittances, fuel subsidy and the issue of migration, as you know that Nigerians travel a lot. We also want to know the safety net and the coping measures.

“I also want to use this medium to graciously appeal for the cooperation of the respondents and households across the country, selected for data collection.


“I can assure you of the utmost confidentiality in handling the information provided during this exercise. As mandated by the law, all information collected can and will only be used for the purpose of computing poverty and welfare indicators to inform the government and the public.
