Yobe government donates N100 million to Borno flood victims
The Yobe State government has donated N100 million to the victims of the recent flood in Borno.
Governor Mai Mala Buni presented the donation to Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno during a sympathy visit on Saturday in Maiduguri.
A statement by Mr Buni’s media aide, Mamman Mohammed, said the Yobe governor also announced his personal donation of foodstuff worth N50 million to the victims.
Mr Buni, according to the aide, described the humanitarian crisis as “catastrophic that calls for support and assistance from everyone.”
“Yobe and Borno states are like twins that have suffered similar fate and need the support of one another.”
He said Mr Buni prayed for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives in the flood and speedy recovery for the injured persons.
Mr Mohammed said Mr Zulum commended the government and people of Yobe for the kind-hearted support they gave their brothers in Borno.
“The people of Yobe and Borno states remained as one united family; what affects one affects the other.
“The government and people of Borno deeply appreciate Your Excellency for this very kind gesture,” he quoted Mr Zulum.
