“The Foundation will work with the Federal Government and Air Peace to make sure the stranded Nigerians can come back home easily. We will also give them the help they need to settle in more comfortably when they return to Nigeria,” she said.
Youssoufou also confirmed that ADF knows about the challenges the Federal Government and Air Peace face in this mission.
She added that the Foundation has contacted important Federal Government agencies that help with disaster relief, telling them that they want to work together to bring all the Nigerians back home safely.
The Aliko Dangote Foundation is known to have also helped the Nigerian government with various initiatives, such as supporting health workers during the Ebola crisis in 2015 and helping Nigerians return from India and Dubai during the Covid pandemic.
Since 2011, ADF has spent over 25 billion naira to help thousands of people in Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, and Abuja by providing food, shelter, and health services.
