NEMA gives food items to IDPs

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has said it is distributing food items to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Borno State.
NEMA Northeast Information Officer Malam Abdulkadir Ibrahim, in a statement in Maiduguri, said: “The Northeast Office of NEMA has begun the distribution of food and non-food items to IDPs with special needs in camps in Maiduguri.
“They will cater for IDPs, who require special care like diabetes patients, babies and nursing mothers.
“The food items distributed include cereal formula for babies, milk, biscuits, custard, Milo beverage, wheat, rice, soya plus and kunun tsamiya.
“The non-food items include slippers, blankets, plates, spoons, vaseline oil, soap, detergents and dignity kits for lactating mothers.”
He added that the provision of the items would not affect the supply of food for the upkeep of the IDPs by NEMA.
According to him, the distribution is not withstanding the Memorandum of Understanding by the agency and the Borno State government.
Ibrahim said NEMA supplied the food items required for feeding IDPs, while the government provided condiments and others for cooking.
