The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has delivered relief materials for distribution to provide immediate succor to persons affected by the recent attacks on some communities in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State.
The materials were delivered in line with NEMA’s mandates for timely intervention to save lives in disaster and emergency situations.
These consisted of food items that include bags of rice, beans, and garri, cartons of powdered milk beverages, tomato paste, and seasoning cubes.
Others are bags of iodized salts and kegs of vegetable and palm oil.
The non-food items are cartons of detergent and toilet soap, bundles of mosquito nets and blankets. Also delivered are pieces of foam mattresses, nylon mats, plastic buckets, and cups.
Moreover, the Agency has provided some building materials to build VIP toilets at the camps for the displaced persons.
Recall that Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima had said during his visit last week to Plateau State that NEMA should provide relief materials to cushion the impacts of the attacks.
The Governor of Plateau State Mr. Caleb Mutfwang is personally supervising the distribution of the relief items to ensure equity and fairness amongst the displaced persons.
