Ex-Senate President Lawan donates N30m to flood victims In Yobe
President of the 9th Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, has yet again come to the rescue of flood victims by donating the sum of N30m to three local government areas in his Senatorial District of Yobe North.
Senator Lawan’s N30m donation brings the total amount donated recently to flood victims in his Senatorial District to N55million.
The lawmaker, barely two weeks ago, donated the sum of N20m to flood victims in Nguru local government area; and N5m to those displaced in Karasuwa local government area.
Speaking when he visited Yusufari local government area on Sunday, to assess the damage caused by recent flooding, Senator Lawan said that the funds donated are for the purchase of essential items such as food, clothing, shelter, and medical supplies for affected victims.
He urged the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the Yobe State Emergency Management Agency (YOSEMA) to provide additional support to those affected and displaced by flooding.
Senator Lawan also called on well-meaning individuals and organizations to join hands in providing assistance to the victims as every contribution, no matter how small, would make a significant difference in their lives.
