The rice and relief aids were donated by the Bank of Industry (BOI) and the Government of United Arab Emirates (UAE) resepectively to support the ongoing efforts of the federal and state governments in mitigating the impact of the recent disasters in the country.

Director-General of NEMA, Zubaida Umar said the donations of relief materials by both BoI and the government of UAE symbolise the manifestation of deep sympathy for people severely impacted by disasters on the one hand. „The gestures further entrench the essence of multi-stakeholder and multi-national approach to disaster management in global perspective,“ the DG stated yesterday at the handing over ceremony in Abuja.

BoI donated about 18,779 bags of 10kg rice to NEMA. The rice was shared to six states to assist internally displaced persons in IDPs camps in the states, according to Umar.

She said the selection of the beneficiary states was based on the number of IDPs in the state, the urgency and severity of needs of the affected persons. The states are: Imo State, 3,500 bags; Benue State, 3,000 bags; Plateau State, 1,669 bags; Jigawa State, 3,000 bags; Katsina State, 3,850 bags; Zamfara State, 3,634 bags.
