Niger East Senator, Sani Musa, has announced a donation of N50 million to support victims of the devastating flood in Mokwa Town of Niger State, which claimed numerous lives and caused extensive property damage.

Musa, who also chairs the Senate Committee on Finance, announced his donation in a statement on Saturday, describing it as a personal gesture of compassion and solidarity with victims of the humanitarian crisis.

“As a demonstration of my personal commitment and compassion, I am supporting ongoing relief efforts with a donation of N50 million, along with several trucks of essential food supplies—including rice, millet, and maize—to help provide immediate sustenance to displaced and vulnerable members of the community,” he said.

In the statement, the lawmaker commended Governor Umar Bago, traditional institutions, and emergency responders in the state for their swift intervention.

He also called on wealthy individuals, corporate organisations, and humanitarian groups to support the victims.

The incident, which occurred on 29th May, 2025, submerged houses, claimed more than 100 lives, and destroyed many properties.

Reacting to the incident, President Bola Tinubu expressed deep concern over the situation, ordering the immediate activation of the National Emergency Response Centre and instructed all relevant federal agencies to support the Niger State Government in addressing the crisis.
