BUA Group, led by Chairman Abdul Samad Rabiu, has responded to President Bola Tinubu’s call for private sector support by donating N2 billion to aid victims of the devastating floods in Maiduguri, Borno State.
This generous donation reflects the company’s commitment to supporting Nigerians in times of need.
The recent flooding in Maiduguri has caused immense hardship for thousands of families, prompting BUA Group to act swiftly. Rabiu emphasized, “As an organisation deeply rooted in Nigerian society, we believe it is our responsibility to provide relief to those affected.”
The donation comprises N1 billion in cash and N1 billion worth of essential food supplies, including flour, pasta, sugar, rice, and other vital commodities.
These items will be distributed to the hardest-hit areas to provide immediate relief.
The N1 billion cash donation was presented to the state government to ensure aid reaches those in need quickly.
The Abdulsamad Rabiu Africa Initiative (ASR Africa), under BUA Group, will continue to monitor the situation and provide necessary resources to help Maiduguri’s residents recover and rebuild.
Rabiu urged other corporate organisations and individuals to join the effort, saying, “Our thoughts are with the affected families and individuals. As we extend our support, we seek to restore hope and rebuild lives.”
