Bauchi Govt Donates N250m To Flood Victims In Borno
From Paul Orude Bauchi
Bauchi State has donated the sum of N250 million to victims of floods in Borno State
The donation was made during a sympathy visit to the Borno State Government House in Maiduguri on Monday.
Governor Bala Mohammed met his counterpart, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno and sympathised with the latter.
Mohammed revealed he had sent the Bauchi State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) to assist the Borno Humanitarian Response Squad in helping the impacted areas.
“I saw you managing the crisis on the day it happened, and I thought you were handling a similar situation as before. But as the situation unfolded, it became clear that this was a disaster of unprecedented proportions,” Governor Mohammed said
“It (the flood) has caused immense destruction of lives and properties, and continues to inflict pain on the people. We were confused about how to intervene, but decided to take a modest approach by providing cooked food for 10,000 people, twice a day, to help save lives.”
Mohammed assured Zulum that his team would stay in Borno till things got better.
“I commend your courage and resilience in the face of this adversity,” Mohammed said.
“You have always demonstrated exceptional leadership, using your knowledge and expertise to conquer challenges. Thank you for your steadfastness.”
Zulum expressed appreciation for the donation saying it was timely
He expressed his gratitude to the Bauchi State Government for supporting Borno State in its hour of need.
“We are deeply touched by your gesture, and I assure you that the N250 million donation will be judiciously utilized to alleviate our people’s suffering,” Zulum states
“The support from your government is a testament to the bond between our states and commitment to humanity”
