Governor Mai Mala Buni has issued a formal commendation praising a renowned philanthropist from Nguru in Yobe state, Alhaji Balarabe Abdullahi, popularly known as Balarabe DJ, for the complete reconstruction and modernisation of the Rugar Balarabe community in Nguru Local Government Area, following a devastating fire incident.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the governor described the donor’s intervention as a landmark achievement in private philanthropy.
The project transformed the site of a burnt Fulani settlement into a fully-equipped, modern community donated entirely free of charge to displaced families.
The newly built Rugar Balarabe features a comprehensive suite of facilities, including modern two-bedroom flats, a functional community clinic and a community mosque.
