The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Khadijat Ibrahim, has promised to provide 1350 metric Tonnes of maize for newly situated IDPs in Yobe State. She made this promise during a visit to the north-eastern state.
She also gave assurance that more will be done to rehabilitate school health facilities and other infrastructure.
Following the recovery of towns in North-eastern states, previously occupied by the Boko Haram insurgents, many rejoiced to see the return of displaced persons to their ancestral homes from the camps where they received temporary succour.
Since then, different aid items have been donated to help their resettlement, but more needs to be done.For the first time in a long while, normal activities have returned to Yobe State.
Channels Television reports that Yobe State is gradually recovering, but it is evident that a lot of effort is needed to solve the problems of infrastructure, hunger and drought.
