Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata, Nigerian business mogul, has donated N1.5 billion to support victims of the devastating flood that ravaged some parts of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State.
Mr Dantata made the donation when he led a delegation from Kano to Government House on Tuesday.
During the visit, the 96 year old businessman expressed his pain over the loss of lives and properties caused by the flood and offered his heartfelt sympathies to Governor Babagana Zulum, the government, and the people of Borno State.
He also called on elites in Nigeria and political leaders to reflect on their actions and urged them to fear Allah in their dealings, lamenting the worsening state of the economy.
While responding, Governor Zulum expressed deep gratitude for the compassionate gesture. He acknowledged the donation as a powerful symbol of hope and solidarity during a challenging time.
