NEMA distributes food items to 3,978 IDPs in Adamawa
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) says it has begun the distribution of food items to 3,978 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Adamawa.
Head of operations at NEMA’s Adamawa/Taraba office, Maidela Iliya, stated this during the distribution exercise in Fufore town, Fufore local government area of the state.
Mr Illiya listed the following items to be distributed to the Santariza and Fufore IDP camps to include rice, beans, maize, vegetable oil, tomato paste, salt and seasoning.
The NEMA official explained that some 663 households with a projected population of 3,978 would receive food ration during the exercise.
Mr Illiya said 1,998 persons would benefit from the exercise in Fofure, 1,434 in Malkohi and 546 at Santariza camp.
Commending NEMA’s gesture, a beneficiary, Safiratu Ayuba and Abbas Bashir, urged for proactive measures to ensure timely distribution of food ration to the IDPs.
“Sometimes we spent three months without receiving our food ration, the trend exposed us to more difficulties,” they said.
