Questions about recovering from lost goods

Is there government help after a market fire in Nigeria?

Sometimes. State governments and SEMA occasionally give relief, but it is not guaranteed and can take time.

Can I ask for help to restart after losing my goods?

Yes. Post on AbegNa with photos of the damage and what you need to restart.

Do I have to pay it back?

No. What people send on AbegNa is a gift, not a loan. There is no interest and no repayment.
