Dantata donates N1.5b to Maiduguri flood victims

Elder statesman and business mogul, Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata, has made a generous donation of N1.5 billion to support victims of the devastating flood that recently affected parts of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State.

The 96-year-old philanthropist led a delegation from Kano to the Government House in Maiduguri on Tuesday to personally extend his condolences.

During the visit, Dantata expressed his sorrow over the loss of lives and properties caused by the flood and offered his heartfelt sympathies to Governor Babagana Zulum, the government, and the people of Borno State.

He also called on Nigeria’s elites and political leaders to reflect on their actions and urged them to fear Allah in their dealings, lamenting the worsening state of the economy.

This comes shortly after Dantata’s nephew, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, also donated N1 billion to assist the flood victims. The contributions from these prominent figures have been a source of relief and encouragement for those affected by the disaster.
