THE government of Switzerland has donated the sum of $8 million (N1.6 billion) to Nigeria and neighbouring countries in the Lake Chad in support of all Boko Haram victims in the North-East sub-region of the country.

The donation was made yesterday when the Charge’d’ Affaires of Swiss Embassy, Daniel Cavegn, paid an official visit to Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State at the Musa Usman Secretariat Complex, Maiduguri.

He said the visit of the Swiss Embassy to the state was to show solidarity with the people and government of Borno State as they are in a difficult situation caused by Boko Haram conflict.

Cavegn, who stated that the $8 million financial donation to Nigeria was specifically in support of the people affected by Boko Haram conflict in the North-East, including the countries around Lake Chad, said: “We are even looking towards increasing this funding, and to also extend the support and also for others to come here with strong presence of international donors on ground.
