No fewer than 5,000 female petty traders affected by the recent flood disaster in Maiduguri, Borno state have received donations of ₦250 Million as well as food and non-food items from wife of Nigeria’s President Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and the wife of the Vice President, Hajiya Nana Shettima.

Presenting the items, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, emphasized the Renewed Hope Initiative, through which ₦500 million had previously been donated by Vice President’s wife Nana Shettima to support Governor Babagana Zulum’s efforts in response to the disaster.


“When disasters like this occur, our role is to provide support, and that is why we are here today,” she said.
She explained that during the visit to the Shehu of Borno’s palace, the monarch had mentioned that many female traders impacted by the floods had been unable to resume their businesses, prompting the decision to offer additional assistance.

“Mrs. Shettima and I discussed on our way here, and we decided to provide another ₦250 million to help 5,000 female petty traders, each receiving ₦50,000. We hope this disaster will be the last of its kind in Borno and Nigeria,” Senator Oluremi Tinubu added.
Receiving the items, Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum acknowledged the Federal Government’s ongoing support and praised the First Lady for her consistent assistance to the less privileged, even before the floods.
