 The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, said about 3,975 internally displaced persons are said to benefit from monthly food distribution in Adamawa State. Here is a report as presented from our studio. The NEMA head of operations announced this figure in Yola during the food distribution for the month of April, urging them to utilize the food before the next batch. They, however, said the agency and the state government are working hand in hand to provide more food and non-food items for the internally displaced persons residing in Yola and beyond. According to him, NEMA office in the area is currently working on the directives of the Director-General to make sure that all the IDPs are captured monthly. These items are not meant for sale because if you sale and then the items did not come in time, what are you going to eat? And we even tell them that government alone cannot meet the needs of a human being. At least even if they keep you for some years, giving you is not the best. But if you feel for yourself, that's the best. We are preaching for them that this, you know, rainy season that is coming. Let them find places that they will, you know, do a miller job so that it will elevate, it will supplement what government is giving them. Speaking on behalf of the people, the chairman of the Malkohi camp thanked the agency but, however, expressed worries over the negligence for some months without food items within the camp. It promised to use the food given to them judiciously but called on the state government to always come to their aid. The head of operations also appealed to the internet-displaced persons to use the opportunity of raining season by keeping themselves busy with worthy ventures. We cannot say 100 percent we don't have heat because from time to time, maybe sometimes they say delay, sometimes there's no delay. So that's how it depends on how we are able to source and the agency is able to source for the items and then bring so that would give to the IDPs. Plus TV Africa reports that the distribution is a response to several outcries from the IDPs as a result of neglect. So you get notified about fresh news updates.
