The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said more
than 30 have died and over 400,000 have been displaced due to the flood
in the state capital.

 

The Borno government has opened up internally displaced
persons (IDP) camps for victims across the state.

Speaking during an assessment visit to some of the affected
locations in Maiduguri, the businessman said the amount was given to NEMA to
work with the Borno state government.

 

“I just want to clarify, we have this flood committee. NEMA
wrote a letter, so we sat down and approved N1 billion to NEMA to work with
the Borno state government,” Dangote said.

 

“On top of that, the Aliko Dangote Foundation will also put
in additional N500 million, so that’s N1.5 billion.”

 

Also speaking, Abdullahi Sule, governor of Nasarawa,
announced the donation of an unspecified number of trucks of relief materials
to support the Borno state government.

 

Earlier on Friday, Muktar Betara, a member of the of
representatives, donated N100 million to victims of the flood disaster.

 

Betara said the donation would cushion the effects of the
disaster.
