Dangote donates N200million to flood victims

The richest man in Africa, Nigeria's Aliko Dangote has donated N200 million to victims of flood in Nigeria’s Kogi state.

The donation is made up of N50 million food items and N150 million cash, a total of $1,250,000. The donation is only a part of the assistance Dangote planned to offer the people of the state. In addition, he planned to empower 1,000 women in each of the 21 local councils in the state, for which he has set aside another N230 million. Each woman, will collect a grant of N10,000, about $65 to start petty business.

Dangote made the donation Saturday during a sympathy visit to the state government in the capital of Lokoja.
