The Swiss Federation has donated 1.2 million Euros to the Borno State Flood Disaster Relief Fund to provide much-needed support to the victims of the recent flood disasters in the state.
The donation was announced by the Swiss Ambassador to Nigeria, Nicolas Lang, who led a delegation of the Swiss Embassy on a sympathy visit to the government house in Maiduguri on Wednesday. Switzerland had previously supported the Borno Model in 2023 with about $700,000.
Responding, Gov Zulum thanked Ambassador Lang and his team for taking time out of their busy schedule to pay a sympathy visit to Borno State and the Swiss Federal Government for the generous donation to the affected flood victims. He said: 'On behalf of the government and the good people of Borno, let me express our profound gratitude to the Swiss government for this generous donation. We are equally grateful to Ambassador Lang and his team for the sympathy visit.
