Ekweremadu donates relief materials to Yola IDPs camps

The Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has donated relief items worth N9 million to Internally  Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in Adamawa State.

Presenting the items to the Adamawa State governor, Mohammed Bindow, the Special Adviser to the Deputy Senate President, Ibrahim Usman, informed the governor that the relief items were in fulfillment of Mr. Ekweremadu’s pledge to the IDPs during his last visit to them penultimate week.

Mr. Usman explained that the items include 1000 pieces of women wrappers, 1000 bales of 10 yards for men and 1000 sets of new clothes for children.

He expressed grief over the situation of the IDPs, and prayed that God will bring an end to the security challenges afflicting the nation.

Mr. Usman, a lawyer, expressed optimism that the action taken by the present administration will undoubtedly bring an end to Boko Haram attacks in the North East.

While calling for collective prayers from Nigerians for the end of Boko Haram crisis, he therefore called on all well-meaning Nigerians to extend helping hands to the victims of Boko Haram attacks.

In accepting the gesture, Governor Bindow expressed appreciation on behalf of the beneficiaries to the Deputy Senate President.

He thanked Mr. Ekweremadu for his kindness and also called on well-meaning Nigerians to emulate the gesture. He described the Deputy Senate President as a detribalised and compassionate Nigerian.

The governor then handed over the items to State Emergency Management Agency for judicious distribution to the IDPs at their camps.
