The Dangote Foundation has donated money and equipment worth over N50 million to victims of the March 8 clash between Hausa and Yoruba persons in Ile-Ife. Suera Yusuf, managing director the Foundation, who represented Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Group, presented cheques to the victims at the palace of Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, in Ile-Ife. The beneficiaries are drawn from Hausa and Yoruba communities,  who suffered losses during the clash.
Sanusi Lamido, emir of Kano, who was at the presentation of the cheques said he called Dangote to assist the victims after he and the Ooni visited the scene of the clash to assess the level of destruction. The monarchs appealed to other wealthy Nigerians to use their wealth to alleviate the suffering of the majority of the people, who were poor.
