Starting from the presidency,

President Bola Tinubu on Monday announced a disaster relief fund in Maiduguri, Borno State, to assist Nigerian citizens impacted by floods and other disasters

He said the relief fund is already expedient as the climate becomes more unpredictable and many places in the country are vulnerable to its vagaries.

Tinubu announced this at the Borno Government House when he visited the state to sympathise with the government and people over the recent flooding from Alau Dam.

The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who disclosed this in a statement, said that Tinubu urged the private sector to contribute to the fund.

He added that Senate president Godswill Akpabio, who accompanied the President on the visit, said the National Assembly will collaborate with the executive to establish the Fund.
