BORNO FLOOD DISASTER: OGUN DONATES N200M FOR REHABILITATION
Ogun State Government has donated N200 million to the Borno State Government following the devastating flood that recently ravaged the state, destroying property and displacing thousands of residents.
Recall that earlier, Governor Dapo Abiodun expressed his condolences to the people and government of Borno State, praising the state administration for acting quickly in conjunction with federal interventions.
Announcing the donation on Saturday, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy,. Kayode Akinmade stated that “the gesture is aimed at assisting the victims of the flood and providing immediate relief.”
According to him, Abiodun noted that “the flood had caused an unimaginable humanitarian crisis in the state, necessitating immediate support from all Nigerians to provide succour for the affected people.”
According to the National Emergency Management Agency, the town has not seen such severe flooding in thirty years when the Alau Dam burst due to excessive rains.
At least 414,000 people have reportedly been forced to flee their homes, and the catastrophic flood that hit Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, claimed 30 lives.
