The first lady, Oluremi Tinubu, and the wife of the vice president, Nana Shettima, together donated N250 million to support 5,000 women whose petty businesses were affected by the flood in Maiduguri.
Mrs Tinubu made the announcement on Thursday during their sympathy visit to the state, accompanied by the wives of Delta, Niger and Yobe State governors in Maiduguri.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Maiduguri was seriously hit by a devastating flood following an overflow of water from the Alau dam last September, which severely affected many businesses.
