Flood: Borno govt donates N500mn to Maiduguri Teaching Hospital but more needed

The Borno State Government has donated N500 million to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital to support the hospital’s recovery after the flood that ravaged it on 10 September.

The University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, one of the major government health institutions in north-east Nigeria, was severely impacted by the flood. To support the recovery effort, Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum handed the cheque to the Coordinating Minister of Health, Mohammad Pate, during the latter’s visit to the state last Tuesday.

The Borno government has received cash and material donations of over N20 billion to support flood victims in the state.
