President Ahmed Bola Tinubu has taken a swift trip to Maiduguri, Borno State, to condole with the state and victims of the Alau Dam flood that wrecked havoc to lives and properties.
On his arrival approximately 3:15 pm, Tinubu was warmly welcomed by Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum.
During his visit, the President would meet with the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Umar-Garbai El-Kaneni, to pay his respects and discuss the region’s recovery efforts.
President Tinubu will also visit one of the relief camps housing displaced families and assess the situation before taking quick action to emiolorate their suffering.
“We stand with the people of Borno during this difficult time,” said a presidential official, emphasising the government’s commitment to providing relief to those affected by the disaster.
The visit comes amid the state government’s relentless efforts to manage the aftermath of the flood and restore normalcy, instilling hope in the residents.
The tragic flood on Monday, September 9, submerged almost half of Maiduguri, displacing thousands of residents.
The state government has responded by establishing 36 camps to shelter those affected.
