The Sir Emeka Offor Foundation (SEOF) has donated N200 million to the Borno State government to alleviate the suffering of victims of the recent flood disaster in Maiduguri and its environs.
The donation was announced in a statement after the delegation of the Foundation led by retired AIG Chris Ezike visited Maiduguri to commiserate with the Borno State government.
Apart from the N200 million, midwifery kits valued at N38 million were also donated to alleviate the suffering of flood victims.
The visit provided the delegation the first-hand insights into the scale of the disaster and the immediate needs of the affected population.
“The Sir Emeka Offor Foundation stands firmly with the people of Borno State during this challenging period. Our donation is more than just material support; it is a message of hope and solidarity. We are committed to working closely with the Borno State government to ensure that these resources reach those who need them most.
“Our Foundation believes in the resilience of the human spirit, and we are confident that together, we can overcome this adversity and build a stronger, more resilient community,” the statement read in part.
The delegation also visited key locations including the palace of the Shehu of Borno, Mustafa Ibn Umar El-Kanemi and Bakasi Camp, one of the largest IDP camps in the state.
