Member of Federal House of Representatives, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, has extended electricity from the national grid to the camp of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Uhogua, Ovia North-East local government area of Edo State.

The lawmaker made the disclosure on Saturday when he visited the IDPs camp to distribute food items worth millions of Naira to the IDPs.

Idahosa, who regretted that it has taken years for the camp to be connected to the national grid, said when completed, the huge amount being spent on diesel to power their generator could be channelled into other purposes.

On the distribution of the food items, he said it was meant to cushion the biting effect of inflation, as well as provide the displaced persons something to enjoy during the yuletide.

He noted that it was the primary responsibility of lovers of humanity to assist the IDPs in whatever ways they can, especially in the face of the present economic hardship.

“It is a huge camp and without support from well-meaning individuals and organisations, there will always be a huge gap of taking care of the needs of the children and adults here.

“They don’t just need only food, there are other needs such as medical supplies, toiletries and educational needs of the children,” he stated.

In his response, Pastor Solomon Folorunsho, the Coordinator of the camp, commended the lawmaker for the electricity and food items.

He noted that the over 2,000 IDPs in the camp have for years made appeal for the extension of electricity to the camp without any positive response.

“It is the same way we have been making an appeal for support for the education needs of the children several of who are in tertiary institutions across the country.

“At a time, we were selling some of the food items in stock to take care of these needs. Just this year, we had 156 of them that sat for the UTME again.

“We are indeed elated with the gesture of Dennis Idahosa for the food items and provision of electricity that have been one of our major challenge this past years,” he said.

Among the food items distributed by the lawmaker were 1,000 bags of garri, 250 bags of rice, 400 bags of beans, 20 cartoons of tomato paste, 30 cartons of seasonings and 20 kegs of vegetable oil.
