Sen. Mohammed Tahir Monguno of Borno North and Hon. Usman Zannah, the member representing the Kaga/Magumeri/Gubio federal constituency, along with other concerned parties, have donated food and non-food items to the victims of the recent flood disaster that devastated the Mainok Community of Kaga Local Government Area.
Additionally, they gave N6.2 million in cash to support the Borno State Government’s situational management operations.
In an interview with our correspondent in Maiduguri, Hon. Zannah—who also serves as the Chairman of the House Committee on the North East Development Commission (NEDC)—disclosed this.
“The humanitarian senator and Chief Whip of the 10th Nigerian Senate, Mohammed Tahir Monguno of Borno North, my humble self Usman Zannah, Mustapha Alibe, representing Kaga in the Borno State House of Assembly, Hon. Mustapha Bukar Daima, and former Chairman of Kaga LGA have stepped up to provide urgent relief in response to the devastating floods that recently occurred in Mainok,” the speaker said.
The N6.2 million contribution is made up of N3 million from Senator Monguno, N2 million from me, N1 million from Mustapha Alibe, the member of the State Assembly who represents Kaga, and N200,000 from Hon. Bukar Daima, the former Kaga Caretaker Chairman.
This is on top of the food and non-food items that have been distributed, such as mats, blankets, buckets, and too many other items to list.
“I want to specifically appreciate the federal government government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Vice- President, Senator Kashim Shettima for their support always.
“I also appreciate Governor Babagana Zulum for sending high level delegation headed by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Bukar Tijjani to ascertain the level of flood damage in Mainok”. Zannah said.
In a related development, Hon. Zannah has been giving out weedicides to legitimate farmers throughout the Constituency in an effort to improve food security and help the recipients become financially independent.
