The managing director of the commission Mohammed Alkali who presented the relief materials to the victims through the State Government explained that the items include; 10, 000 bags of rice, 3, 000 gallons of vegetable oil, 5, 000 pieces of blankets, 5, 000 pieces of mats, 5, 000 bundles of wrappers, 3, 000 bundles of cotton clothes and 3, 000 pieces of children wears.
According to him, during the recent World Humanitarian Day in Maiduguri, the Borno State Capital, the commission made some pronouncements to support all the six states of the region in terms of palliatives through the Presidential Committee on Repatriation, Return and Resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
Alkali noted that the commission has since handed over that of Borno to Governor Babagana Umara Zulum and Yobe State to the Deputy Governor Idi Barde Gubana and now Gombe State.
Responding, Gombe Deputy Governor Manasseh Jatau promised that the items would reach those meant for.
While thanking the NEDC for the gesture, the deputy governor appealed for more interventions from the commission to the state.
