Mr Dangote, who has an expected fortune of $17bn, declared the gift while going to camps in Borno state with its representative Kashim Shettima.
A released World Bank report appraises that around 30% of 3.2 million private homes have been wrecked in the state, which has been most noticeably bad influenced by the insurrection.
Respecting the gift, Mr Shettima said: "Our kin are in critical straits and there is just so much that we can do with our restricted assets."
Mr Dangote said his primary need was to control ailing health and appetite in the camps, and to then make training and openings for work for individuals.
"This is not the first occasion when I am coming here and it won't be the last," Mr Dangote said, including that he had already given about $6m to handle the helpful emergency.

Be that as it may, the gathering has kept on completing suicide bombings, and assaults in north-eastern Nigeria and neighboring Cameroon, Chad and Niger.

Propelled military operations in 2009
Thousands slaughtered, for the most part in north-eastern Nigeria, hundreds snatched, including no less than 200 schoolgirls
Joined supposed Islamic State, now calls itself IS's "West African territory"
