Following severe flooding in Maiduguri, President Bola Tinubu has initiated a Disaster Relief Fund to address climate change-related disasters across Nigeria. The announcement came after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, where Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, highlighted the importance of mobilizing resources to handle emergencies.
The recent flooding in Maiduguri claimed lives and destroyed infrastructure, emphasizing the urgent need for a proactive disaster response system. Tinubu’s administration aims to ensure preparedness for future disasters through continuous support for the fund.
