The devastating floods have displaced thousands, destroyed homes, and disrupted lives across Borno State. Saroafrica's relief efforts aim to provide immediate assistance to affected families, fostering resilience and supporting recovery within these communities.
The relief package, carefully designed to address urgent needs, includes essential cooking supplies and personal hygiene products valued at 100 Million Naira. The distribution of these items will be managed by the Borno Flood Relief Project Committee to ensure they reach impacted individuals effectively.
Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Rasheed Sarumi, Group Managing Director of Saroafrica emphasized the Group’s commitment to supporting Nigerians in times of hardship: “At Saroafrica, we believe in the transformative power of collective action to drive meaningful change. We are honoured to contribute to the recovery of the people of Borno State in the aftermath of the devastating September 10 flood. This donation reflects our enduring commitment to sustainable development and to empowering communities across Nigeria. We believe sustainable development is a shared responsibility, and that partnerships between the private and public sectors are pivotal during times like these.”
