More aids for displaced Chibok residents
The Federal Government yesterday gave more relief items to Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) in Chibok, Borno State.
The Northeast Zonal Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency
(NEMA), Muhammed Kanar, said the items were given in compliance with a
directive from the presidency.
Speaking in Yola, Adamawa State, Kanar said the agency was taking care of 10,376 registered IDPs in Chibok and its environs.
He said experts from the Safe School Initiative (SSI) accompanied a
NEMA team to assess schools destroyed by the Boko Haram insurgents.
The coordinator said the agency would provide boreholes in the affected
communities to ease water shortage, adding: “President Goodluck Jonathan
has directed the agency to supply additional intervention items to
Chibok. They include 1,200 bags of 10kg rice, 1,000 blankets, 500
mosquito nets and 500 mats, cooking oil and 500 bags of maize.”
Receiving the items on behalf of the community, the District Head of
Chibok, Mr Modu Zanna, who was represented by Alhaji Lawan Yerima-Amdan,
thanked the president, urging him to expedite the release of their
abducted girls.
“We thank President Goodluck Jonathan for
identifying with us; we hope he will intervene on the issue of our
girls,” Zanna said.
