Flood: Nigeria’s First Lady Visits Borno, Provides Humanitarian Aid
By: Our Reporter
Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Federal Republic of Nigeria, alongside Nana Kashim Shettima, wife of the Vice President, have donated N250 million to support 5,000 female entrepreneurs in Borno, whose businesses were affected by recent floods in Maiduguri. This initiative was announced during a sympathy visit to the state, which experienced significant damage from flooding due to the Alau dam overflow last September.

In addition to the financial support, Mrs. Tinubu distributed food items to help alleviate the economic hardships faced by the community. She emphasized that this donation is part of ongoing efforts, following a previous N500 million contribution to the state government through the Renewed Hope Programme, aimed at assisting all affected citizens.

Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum expressed gratitude for these generous contributions, highlighting the federal government’s commitment to supporting the state in the aftermath of the disaster.
Furthermore, Coordinating Minister of Health Muhammad Pate contributed lifesaving medicines and antibiotics to aid the flood victims, enhancing the relief efforts in the region.

Massive Crowd in Maiduguri as Pastor Paul Enenche Leads Revival Crusade

Massive Crowd in Maiduguri as Pastor Paul Enenche Leads Revival Crusade
By: Zagazola Makama
A mammoth crowd of Christian worshippers gathered in Maiduguri for a revival crusade led by renowned Nigerian pastor, Dr. Paul Enenche, General Overseer of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja.
The crusade, titled “Ignited: A Fire of Revival in Borno State,” saw thousands of Christians from across the North East convene for a night of prayers, worship, and spiritual upliftment in the heart of a city once at the center of insurgency.
Symbol of Peaceful Coexistence
The event, held without incident, served as a indication to the improving security situation in Borno and the resilience of the Christian community in the region. Worshippers sang, prayed, and listened to sermons focused on hope, unity, and faith despite past security challenges.

The gathering also comes amid recent clarifications by the Federal Government refuting allegations that Christians are being deliberately targeted in Nigeria especially in the North East.
Government officials have dismissed such claims as misleading narratives aimed at influencing foreign governments, particularly the United States, to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC).
Faith Over Fear
Many attendees described the crusade as a historic moment for Christians in the North East, emphasizing their right to practice their faith freely.
“This is a sign that peace is returning to Borno. The presence of this large number of Christians, worshipping at night in Maiduguri without fear, is a powerful message,” said Deborah Musa, a worshipper from Yobe State.
Another attendee, Pastor James Buba, praised the Dunamis International Gospel Centre for organizing the crusade, saying it has rekindled hope among believers in the region.

Despite past insurgency threats, Borno State has witnessed religious tolerance and restoration of peace, allowing such large-scale religious gatherings to take place safely.
The Federal Government has repeatedly maintained that Nigeria upholds religious freedom and that violence affecting communities is largely due to criminal activities and terrorism, rather than state-sponsored persecution. Officials have urged both local and international observers to avoid narratives that exaggerate religious divisions in the country.
As the revival ended, worshippers left the venue with renewed faith and optimism, seeing the event as a milestone in Borno’s path to peace and religious harmony.
