The management of Jaiz Bank Plc led by the Managing Director/CEO Hassan Usman Tuesday visited Governor Babagana Umara Zulum in Maiduguri to commiserate with him over the resurgent attacks in Borno State.
During the visit, the MD presented relief materials, comprising of food and non-food items to the Governor for distribution to victims of the attacks.
Mal. Usman described the presentation as the Bank’s support to Borno State Government in the areas of livelihood to the internally displaced persons (IDPs).
A statement from the bank on Tuesday said items presented include 600 bags of rice and 350 pieces of clothing materials.
He said: “We are here to recognise the sacrifices you have been making and this we consider our widows’ mite to assist in ameliorating the suffering of the displaced persons in the state.”
The Bank hoped that the mayhem experienced especially in the Northeast part of the Country, should come to an end “where we would have our one time peaceful Borno back to normalcy”.
Responding, Governor Zulum expressed his appreciation to the Bank for the gesture.
He said: “What matters is not the quantum of the materials, but the spirit behind it. We are eternally grateful to you, may Almighty Allah reward you, and may He take you back to your destinations safely. I want to assure you that the government of Borno State will support you.”
