Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has donated N100 million to the Borno State Government for victims of the Alau Dam flood disaster.
Atiku announced the donation during a sympathy visit to Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno in Maiduguri, on Sunday.
He prayed for the souls of those who lost their lives and speedy recovery for the injured as well as those who lost their properties.
While at the Government House, Maiduguri, Atiku extended his heartfelt condolences to Zulum, the government and the people of the state, especially those who lost their beloved ones.
Atiku emphasized that in addition to his donation, he has called upon his network of friends and associates to contribute further to the relief efforts.
This gesture mirrors Atiku’s previous humanitarian initiatives, notably during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he mobilized support from his circle to address urgent needs.
Governor Zulum expressed heartfelt gratitude for Atiku’s compassionate visit, acknowledging, “The people of Borno deeply appreciate this show of solidarity.”
He said Atiku’s generous support not only highlights his deep humanitarian commitment but also serves as a powerful beacon of hope and solidarity during these trying times.
