The Gombe Network of Civil Society on Sunday disclosed that no fewer than N230,000 and 750 pairs of clothes were realised from its appeal to the public on the support for Maiduguri flood victims.
Recall that following the infrastructural decay at Alau dam, Maiduguri was ravaged by flood displacing residents, and rendering others homeless.
The palace of the Shehu of Borno, Nigeria Correctional Service Maiduguri medium custodial centre amongst others were not spared from the colossal damage caused by the flood.
