President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised the establishment of a disaster relief fund to assist Nigerian citizens impacted by floods and other disasters. 

Speaking yesterday at the Borno Government House when he visited Maiduguri, to sympathise with the government and people over the recent flooding from Alau Dam, President Tinubu who sympathized with all the states affected by flooding, said the relief fund is already expedient as the climate becomes unpredictable, and urged the private sector to contribute to the fund. 

Our Correspondent, Raliat Adenekan reports that the Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zullum thanked the President and commended the prompt intervention of Federal Government agencies, particularly NEMA and the military’s Theatre Command, in evacuating stranded victims. He also appealed for the reconstruction of the state and general uplift of the people’s standard of living.

On his part, the Shehu of Borno, Abubakar Ibn Umar Garba El-Kanemi, urged the President to investigate the cause of the Alua dam collapse and overflow into the town to prevent a recurrence.
