Barely six months after the son of the Nigerian President, Seyi Tinubu and his friends donated relief materials worth N500 million to the victims of the September 2024 flood disaster in Maiduguri, the president’s son has donated another palliative worth N100 million to about six tertiary institutions affected by the incident in Borno State.
Flagging off the distribution of thousands of bags of rice, salt, cartons of Spaghetti, marghi, sets of wrappers, blankets, and vegetable oil among others, Seyi said the gesture was to cushion the hardship faced by students in the affected schools, including University of Maiduguri, College of Agriculture, College of Nursing, College of Health and Federal College of Fisheries, Baga.
Represented by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Students and Engagement, Hon. Sunday Adebayo Asefon yesterday at the College of Agriculture Maiduguri, Seyi said the idea was muted last year in the peak of the crisis when he paid a sympathy visit to the Borno State Government and donated materials worth N500 million.
