A Non-Governmental Organization, T200 Foundation, in its outreach, organized feeding thousands of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, in Rabah Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
It also donated assorted food items such as rice, spaghetti, salt, and tomato paste to thousands of the victims at the camp.
The founder of the foundation, Emmanuel Osadebe, who expressed disgust over the deplorable living conditions of victims at the camp, called on other organizations and well-meaning Nigerians to come to the aid of the victims.
He explained that “we got wind of the plight of people living in the camp, and when we came to appraise the situation, we became more concerned, which prompted us to do something.
“Our novel outreach is aimed at alleviating their suffering, which is why we took the bold step and fed them the way people in affluent homes feed.
“Aside from the feeding and presentation of food items to the victims, T200 Foundation has a plan of training them in skills acquisition to enable them to be self-reliant.”
He commended the camp’s Chairman for coordinating the people, advising him to ensure that every household in the camp gets an equal share of the food items, irrespective of where they come from.
Speaking on behalf of the Sokoto State government, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Humanitarian and Disaster Management, Hajia Amina Jakada, thanked the Foundation for its benevolent gesture.
She noted that Governor Ahmed Aliyu is committed to tackling the security challenges bedeviling the eastern part of the state.
Jakada further assured the victims that arrangements are in top gear for them to return home after the rainy season.
