Lawmakers adopted the resolution after Joshua Gana, who represents Lavun, Mokwa, and Edati Federal Constituency, raised a motion during plenary.
He described Mokwa as a key commercial and transit hub and said the storm brought strong winds that caused widespread destruction.
Gana said the storm destroyed homes, displaced families, and damaged property. He added that the disaster disrupted business activities and affected learning at the Niger State University of Agriculture and Aquaculture. Students, he said, now live and study in difficult conditions.
He said early reports confirmed deaths, injuries, and hundreds of residents without shelter. He added that the storm damaged roads, electricity poles, schools, and healthcare facilities, worsening the situation in the community.
Gana warned that many victims now lack shelter, food, medical care, and sanitation. He said local and state emergency agencies do not have enough capacity to respond to the scale of the disaster.
He also raised concerns about the rising number of extreme weather events and called for stronger government action to address environmental challenges.
After adopting the motion, the House directed the National Emergency Management Agency to work with the Niger State Emergency Management Agency to assess the damage and deliver relief materials such as food, temporary shelter, and medical supplies.
Lawmakers also asked relevant committees to monitor the response and ensure both immediate support and long-term recovery for affected communities.
