So far, at least 33 bodies have been recovered and 84 people have been rescued.
Nema blames the accident on the boat being overloading with too many passengers. The people were travelling to a village market in Nigeria from neighbouring Niger.
The crowded vessel capsized near Lolo village in Nigeria's north-western state of Kebbi. According to reports, the accident in the remote area happened on during the week but it is only now that the details are emerging.
