Forty-eight families who were bereaved by the recent Boko Haram attack at a rice field in Borno State have been given N600,000 by the Borno State Government.
The bereaved families were also given bags of food items by a committee assigned by Governor Babagana Zulum to share items received on their behalf.
The distributed fund came from combined support of N20m by the Northern Governors’ Forum and N5m by the North East Development Commission.
A total of 13,000 bags of rice, maize and beans, 1,300 cans of vegetable oil, 2116 cartons of seasoning cubes, 1,083 sachets of tomato and 650 sachets of salt, which were donated by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, were also shared to the families.
