The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has identified with victims of the devastating flood disaster that ravaged communities in Borno State with a donation of N200 million as a corporate humanitarian gesture.
“The Nigerian Ports Authority stands with Borno State during this very devastating occurrence that has resulted in huge losses and disruption of lives and livelihoods,” Abubakar Dantsoho, managing director of the NPA, said in a letter to the Borno State Government.
He said the NPA under the guidance of Adegboyega Oyetola, minister of Marine & Blue Economy, donates a token of N200 million to support the State’s disaster relief efforts.
