I express my heartfelt gratitude to His Excellency, The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, His Royal Majesty, The Shehu of Borno, and all traditional leaders, alongside our emergency response and humanitarian agencies, local partners, NGOs, CSOs, and Corporate Organizations for their exceptional leadership, unwavering support, and impactful intervention. Your dedication and contributions are truly invaluable and deeply appreciated. I have also directed government agencies charged with humanitarian responses to strengthen coordination and ongoing emergency response.
To this end, we have announced the immediate establishment of a Disaster Relief Fund with an initial seed capital from the Federal government to aid in alleviating the impact of this catastrophe. I urge the private sector to match or even exceed the Federal Government’s commitment to this fund, and I appeal for increased global collaboration from our international partners.
To the good people of Borno, many of whom I met today during my visit, your indomitable spirit and resilience in the face of adversity deeply touches me. Please know that your government and the Nigerian people stand with you in solidarity.

Borno shall once again rise above this tragedy, and together, we will OVERCOME.
