First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu has extended a generous donation of ₦110 million to the families of the 22 Kano athletes who lost their lives in a tragic road accident earlier this year. The intervention is seen as a strong show of compassion and national solidarity from the First Lady, aiming to provide some relief to the grieving families.

According to a statement released on Thursday by the Kano State governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Dawakin Tofa, each affected family received ₦5 million. The funds were disbursed under the Victim Support Fund, a platform used to assist citizens affected by unforeseen tragedies and crises. The timely financial assistance is expected to help cushion the devastating impact the loss has had on the families.
