Tinubu arrives Maiduguri to condole with flood victims
President Ahmed Bola Tinubu has arrived in Maiduguri to condole with the government and people of the state over the Alau Dam flood disaster.
The president arrived in Maiduguri around 3:15 p.m.
Mr Tinubu was received on arrival by Governor Babagana Zulum and is scheduled to pay a courtesy call on the Shehu of Borno, Abubakar Umar-Garbai El-Kaneni, from where he is expected to proceed to one of the camps to address displaced persons.
The flood, which submerged almost half of Maiduguri city, led to the loss of lives and properties.
So far, the Borno government has opened 36 camps to cater to thousands of displaced persons.
