The Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation has donated N20 million to victims of the recent floods in Maiduguri, Borno state.
This was stated by the Director-General of the Foundation, Mr. Abubakar Gambo Umar, in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Kaduna state.
The donation, according to the statement, was announced during a sympathy visit to Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno State at the Government House in Maiduguri on Monday.
Umar, who led the Foundation’s delegation, conveyed the organisation’s condolences to the government and people of Borno State, expressing sorrow over the loss of lives, properties, and the displacement of people caused by the floods.
He reaffirmed the Foundation’s commitment to supporting the affected communities and called on Nigerians and the international community to join efforts in aiding Borno’s recovery.
“We encourage all well-meaning individuals and organisations to assist in rebuilding lives and restoring hope to those affected by this disaster,” Umar said.
In response, Gov. Zulum expressed his gratitude to the Foundation, assuring that the funds would be used judiciously to alleviate the suffering of the flood victims.
The delegation also visited the Shehu of Borno, Dr. Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai El Kanemi, where prayers were offered for the victims and the state’s recovery.
The Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation continues to uphold its mission of supporting communities in times of need.
