The governor of Borno State, Babagana Umara Zulum, organized the delivery of food and cash to 30,436 residents, including those who had suffered rain-flood damage, on Monday in Damboa.
A recent downpour produced flooding, and 436 people were identified as victims who lost their homes and food supplies.
According to Professor Adamu Garba Alloma, the chairman of the Damboa Local Government Area, several homes were devastated by the water, which forced some people to relocate.
Each of the 436 victims was to receive N50,000 in cash, a bag of grillable corn, clothes supplies, and a mat, according to Zulum's instructions.
The governor expressed sympathy for those impacted but advised citizens to refrain from … Orders tractors for farmers, assesses school
Meanwhile, Governor Zulum while in Damboa, directed the allocation of tractors through a loan model to farmers.
He said the tractors could accelerate the farming activities of residents.
On education, Zulum inspected an integrated mega Islamic school being built to combine Islamic and western education.
While expressing sympathy for the victims, the governor asked citizens to avoid constructing homes near rivers in order to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
Zulum oversaw the distribution of N5,000 and fabrics to 30,000 residents, the majority of whom were widows and other vulnerable women and men from other areas, in addition to the 436 flood victims.
Since arriving in Damboa on Sunday afternoon, Governor Zulum has visited villages in Hausari, the Old Damboa Market, and Kachallaburari before spending the night there.
The visit was to accelerate completion in order to enable young people that attended traditional Islamic schools to qualify for tertiary education to acquire equivalent of diploma certificates.
Zulum has since approved the construction of similar schools in Monguno in line with plans to have the schools in all 27 local government areas of Borno State.
Given its over 1,000 years history of Islamic scholarship, Borno has thousands of citizens with mainly Islamic education.
The higher Islamic schools provide such citizens who meet certain criteria the opportunities to qualify for admissions into integrated schools where they can acquire the equivalence of diplomas upon which they could seek further western education to become graduates and beyond.
