Ogun state government has announced a donation of N200 million to support victims of the flooding in Maiduguri, Borno state.
Gatekeepers News reports that the flooding, which occurred on September 10, led to the displacement of thousands of residents in several areas of Maiduguri, including Fori, Galtimari, Gwange, and Bulabulin.
