SEMA distributes food items to IDPs in five Plateau LGAs
The Plateau State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has distributed food items to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in five local government areas (LGAs) of the state.
SEMA executive secretary Sunday Abdu said during the distribution on Friday that the intervention was from the Bank of Industry (BOI).
Mr Abdu, represented by his aide, Ashoms Azi, said BOI donated the items after Governor Caleb Mutfwang visited various organisations soliciting support for victims of the various attacks.
The executive secretary said the government would continue to prioritise the welfare and well-being of the IDPs.
Ayuba Matawal, chairman of the Bokkos Local Government IDPs Welfare Committee, who received the items, assured that the items received would be judiciously distributed to the IDPs.
One of the beneficiaries in Bokkos LGA, Luka Philip, commended the state government for its continuous support to the IDPs.
The other LGAs that benefitted from the distribution of the food items were Mangu, Barkin Ladi, Riyom, and Bassa.
The food items distributed include bags of rice and other food condiments.
