During his visit, Obi and his team paid homage to the Shehu of Borno, Abubakar El-Kanemi, and also visited the spare parts market, where traders lost their goods, and an Internally Displaced Persons camp in Government College, where they met thousands of people affected by the flood.
Obi’s donation is aimed at supporting those affected by the devastating floods, which have submerged over half of Maiduguri and displaced thousands of residents.
“I thank the various levels of government, especially the Borno State government, for their interventions and support for the affected people.
“As we reflect on the immense loss and the daunting journey of recovery, may God Almighty grant eternal rest to those who lost their lives, replenish the losses of those who lost their goods, and grant quick healing to those still in the hospital. Above all, may God Almighty continue to bless Borno State and Nigeria.”Obi said.
