CMEC Donates Food Supplies to Borno State Flood Victims

Michael Onjewu, Abuja

The China Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC) has donated over 11 tons of food supplies to the Borno State government for distribution to those affected by the recent flood in the state.

Recall that on September 10, Maiduguri, the Borno state capital and environs experienced its worst flood in 30 years, resulting in many deaths, destruction of properties and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of residents.

The supplies to aid the flood victims were presented during a ceremony in Maiduguri, attended by Governor Babagana Zulum, heads of relevant government departments, and representatives from the Chinese firm.

Liu Shuai, a representative of CMEC, said the initiative is part of the company’s corporate social responsibility and reflects its commitment to the welfare and well-being of local communities in Nigeria.

“As a central Chinese enterprise that has been operating in the Nigerian market for many years, CMEC has consistently monitored the livelihoods of local residents and actively fulfilled its social responsibilities,” Liu said.

According to Liu, CMEC quickly mobilized support for its local staff right after the flood and launched a special assistance plan for local government and flood victims.

“In addition to the food supplies, CMEC will continue to increase its investments and actively participate in post-disaster reconstruction efforts to assist the government and people of Borno State in overcoming these challenges as swiftly as possible,” he added.

In his remarks, Governor Zulum expressed gratitude for the support provided by CMEC. He assured that his administration would complete post-disaster reconstruction on time.

The governor highlighted the significant role of the Maiduguri Emergency Power Plant (MEPP) project, undertaken by CMEC, in the socio-economic development of the local community. He expressed hope for more extensive cooperation with CMEC in the future.
