Accompanied by the wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima, and the wives of several state governors, the First Lady commended the infrastructural development underway in the state. Senator Tinubu attributed this progress to the hard work and dedication of Governor Babagana Zulum.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here to support you. It is truly sad, but I pray the land will flourish and prosper again,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to the plea by the Shehu of Borno, His Royal Highness, Alhaji (Dr.) Abubakar Ibn El-Kanemi, for assistance to help women in the state regain their livelihoods, the First Lady revealed that the Renewed Hope Initiative would provide support to 5,000 women petty traders in Borno State affected by the September 10 flooding in Maiduguri, with a total sum of N250 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter His Royal Majesty\u2019s appeal, myself and H.E. Hajia Shettima discussed it on our way here and agreed that the initiative will provide N50,000 each to 5,000 women petty traders to support their businesses,\u201d she announced.<\/span><\/p>\n

She noted that the flood, which left some residents dead and many homeless, was a distressing event that would require the collective effort of all Nigerians to ensure a swift recovery for the victims.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his remarks, the Governor of Borno State, Prof. Babagana Zulum, expressed gratitude to the First Lady and the Renewed Hope Initiative for their contributions and continued support since the tragic flood.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thank Your Excellency for the initial donation, which was made through the wife of the Vice President. These food items, alongside your visit, further prove that you are truly a mother to the nation,\u201d Governor Zulum said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, the First Lady met with a cross-section of the victims at the Borno State Government House, where she handed over relief materials, including tons of food and sanitary supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
