Dangote donates N100m to Sokoto flood victims
Business mogul, Aliko Dangote, has donated N100 million to the flood victims in Sokoto State.
Mr. Dangote announced the donation in Sokoto, on Monday, when he visited the Sokoto State governor, Aliyu Wamakko.
“It is a great
disaster. But it is the creator that sent it. I believe that He will
bring succour to the victims. The disaster is really very overwhelming
and the efforts to assist the victims should not be left to the state
government alone,” Mr. Dangote said.
Responding, Mr. Wamakko commended Mr. Dangote for the gesture, and described the business mogul as a friend and brother.
“Dangote is also a
household name in the state. It is a name that is associated with the
story of respect, hard work, and the fear of God. I cannot thank you
enough for coming personally to commiserate with us and to make this
generous donation,” the governor said.
Mr. Dangote also donated N15 million to the Sultanate Development Initiative to boost its activities.
