Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has presented cheques to the tune of N17 million to 12 traders affected by the fire incident in New Bussa, Borgu Local Government Area.
Bello presented the chaques to beneficiaries at the Palace of the Emir of Borgu, HRH. Alh. Muhammad Sani Haliru Dantoro Kitoro IV, Borgu local government area of the state.
He described the inferno as unfortunate and a temporary setback to the victims while urging them to let go of the past and judiciously use the support from the state government to restart their trades.
The governor stated,” the state government has been carrying out such support to victims of various kinds of disasters. The support might not be much but it’s a way of cushioning the effect of the incident for them to bounce back”.
He also condoled with the Emir and the people of the Emirate over the demise of some stakeholders in the Emirate while soliciting the support of the royal father to ensure victory for all APC candidates in the coming general elections.
