Abdul Samad Rabiu, founder of BUA Group, has donated N2 billion to aid the Borno State Government’s recovery efforts for victims of the recent floods.
The donation includes N1 billion in cash and an additional N1 billion worth of essential food supplies, aimed at easing the suffering of displaced persons and flood-affected communities.
In a statement, BUA Group emphasized that the donation aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s call for private sector support in disaster recovery efforts.
Rabiu’s contribution was delivered through a delegation to Maiduguri, which presented both the food supplies and cash donation to the state government.
Speaking on the gesture, Rabiu, who also founded ASR Africa, reaffirmed his commitment to standing by Nigerians in difficult times. “The recent flooding in Maiduguri has brought immense hardship to thousands of families.
As a Nigerian business leader, I believe it is our duty to act promptly and meaningfully. This N2 billion donation is our way of supporting those who are most vulnerable during this crisis,” Rabiu said.
The N1 billion worth of food supplies includes flour, pasta, sugar, rice, and other essentials, which will be distributed to the most affected areas. The additional N1 billion cash donation will be used by the state government to ensure timely relief reaches those in need.
