The Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu, has announced that the Federal Government, through the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Fund, has approved over N350 billion for the development of dams and the expansion of facilities across Nigeria.

Bagudu shared this update while speaking to journalists after offering condolences to former EFCC Chairman, Abdul-Rashid Bawa, following the passing of his mother in Birnin Kebbi on Sunday.

He said this is coming on the heels of the recent flooding in Maiduguri, Borno State, that has displaced thousands of people.

He further mentioned that approval has also been granted for the construction of the Zaria Kala-Kala road in Koko/Besse Local Government Area.

This road, he noted, will connect with other projects, including the awarded Melando-Warra road in Birnin Yauri, Ngaski Local Government Area.

“Kebbi is blessed, we are lucky that infrastructural projects, among other numerous interventions in agriculture, animal husbandry, hospitals, schools, will compliment the ongoing developmental projects taking place in the state,” Bagudu added.

What you should know  

The recent flooding in Maiduguri, Borno State, has been the worst since 1994, with many homes submerged and residents on high alert as water levels continue to rise. The flooding is mainly caused by the overflow of the Alau Dam, which has been at full capacity for the past week.

In response, Wale Edun, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, has announced a N3 billion relief package for states affected by the floods.

Additionally, the United States, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), has pledged over $6.5 million to support humanitarian efforts. These funds will be channeled through local partners, including the International Organization for Migration (IOM), to provide relief across flood-affected regions in Nigeria.

Notable figures such as business mogul Aliko Dangote and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar have also made substantial donations to assist Borno State residents during this crisis.
