Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno south, has led a delegation from his senatorial district in donating N200 million to victims of the flood in Maiduguri, the state capital.

On September 10, Alau Dam, which had been at full capacity in the weeks prior, collapsed, leading to the worst flooding in the state in 30 years.

The flood affected swathes of Maiduguri, culminating in the displacement of over 400,000 residents and the death of over 30 persons.

The donation was presented by representatives from the nine LGAs of southern Borno, led by Ndume and Umar Kadafur, Borno’s deputy governor.

Speaking during the visit to Babagana Zulum, Borno governor, Ndume said the contribution was in response to calls for assistance for those affected by the flood.

He said that the funds were raised by indigenes of the zone, both at home and abroad.

Kadafur, who handed over the cheque to Zulum, appreciated those who contributed for their kind gesture.

“We are here not only to sympathise with you but to present a cheque of N200m to the state government flood basket fund,” Kadafur said.

“We want to assure you that you are not alone as the people of southern Borno are strongly behind you in this trying moment.

“More donations from southern Borno are still being expected.”

On his part, Zulum expressed gratitude for the support and asked for continued unity among the people to foster meaningful development.

The delegation also visited Abubakar Umar-Garbai El-Kanemi, the Shehu of Borno, whose palace was also affected by the flood.

They presented the royal father with N10 million in support.
