Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal has announced a monetary donation of N500,000 to each of the 138 families of the 2015 hajj stampede from the state. A statement by Mr. Tambuwal’s spokesman, Imam Imam, said the governor announced the donation while receiving the report of the 2015 hajj committee in Sokoto on Tuesday.
Mr. Tambuwal said even though the government could not compensate the families for the loss of their loved ones, the gesture was in fulfillment of the promise he made when the tragedy occurred in September this year. He said the families had endured pains since the incident, and commended them for their patience and prayers.
