Maiduguri – The Borno Government on
Tuesday appealed to the National Emergency
Management Agency (NEMA) to take over the
daily feeding of Internally Displaced Persons
(IDPs) in the state.
Alhaji Mustapha Zanna, the Deputy Governor
of the state, made the appeal while receiving a
donation of relief materials worth about N7
million for the IDPs by the Nigeria Flour Mills
in Maiduguri.
He said that the takeover would enable the
state government to focus on other
development areas in the state.
Zanna said the burden of feeding over 500,000
IDPs by the government was getting
unbearable.
“Presently, all the residents of the 22 out of
the 27 local government areas of the state are
living in Maiduguri as refugees.
