….Donates N.5 bn to relief fund
Chairman and principal owner of Globacom, Nigeria’s leading telecommunications company, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jnr, has donated a whooping sum of N500m to support the flood relief efforts of the Bayelsa State Government. Presenting a draft cheque to the Governor of Bayelsa State, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson, in Abuja yesterday, the business mogul said he was moved to make the donation because he felt touched by the plight of the flood victims, considering the magnitude of the flood and its devastating effect on the people and the state.
He also commended the various steps taken by governments at the state and federal levels in cushioning the effects, both during and after the floods.
He added that his contribution was intended to provide additional succour to the people of the state. Receiving the cheque from Dr. Adenuga, Governor Dickson, who led a high-powered delegation of the state to the residence of the business mongul, was full of praises and appreciation for the Globacom boss. The governor expressed his gratitude and commended him for his deep concern and love for the people of Bayelsa State, assuring him that the money would be judiciously used along with other donations received from public spirited individuals, corporate bodies, and donor-agencies both locally and internationally.
Governor Dickson further disclosed that he had just set up a high-powered committee on post-flood management, headed by the former National Security Adviser, General Andrew Owoye Azazi along with other high calibre and very credible persons serving as members of the committee.
The governor hinted that the choice and calibre of persons on the committee, underscored the resolve and commitment of government to ensure that monies donated towards this cause were well spent and directed to the real beneficiaries, as well as made to serve the purpose for which they were intended.
O seun OMOLUABI,

Corruption. Adenugu gets billions from GEJ government, so it makes sense to grease the palm (Bayelsa). After all, was Bayelsa the only state hit by flood?

Is kogi state not having billionaires mr man
Bond Boy, If the wealthy indigenes of flood affected states should bail their states out, then Adenuga shouldn’t have donated to Bayelsa. Abi what do you think.
Mike jisike. Chukwu gbagi ume o – amen.
Dr Mike Adenuga you are blessed, you show example of good citizen of Nigeria, It make make me to Remember M.K.O Of those days, Were is IBB. OBJ, And others doing ‘???????????????????????????????????????.
The #5 bn donated by Adenuga to Bayelsa state flood victim is purely eye service.
Nawaoh! Nigerians, u do gud they kil u, u do bad they crucify u
Indeed Mr Mike Adenuga Jr. is a good example of patriotic citizen and a philanthropist. Sir, may your ways be right with God almighty so that your reward will not elude you both in time and eternity. God bless you for this kind gesture.
This is just political, the flood effected Delta State, Kogi State, Anmabra State, Rivers, State, Imo state, Edo State and Bayelsa State. Why is Bayelsa so important when we all knew that the President must have through the back door gave them something and the state is among the richest in Nigeria now.. Adenuga is just protecting his investment while indirectly looking for more from the government since Dangote seems to be more favored this time., it is wrong to say that the guy who said Kogi was the first state to be effected by the flood to be jealous he simply said the truth but in Nigeria everything here goes through tribal line and that is why we are gradually sinking like a ship without a captain.
