He also said that the items included mattresses, cartons of noodles, bags of garri, rice, sugar, yam tubers, spaghetti, sewing/grinding machines, tricycles and welding equipment amongst others are in two categories for the displaced persons and empowerment to boost the SMEs sector.

Speaking on behalf of the governor, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Professor Manman Jibril, said that the displaced persons needed to be assisted by the government and other agencies because they are highly in need of basic requirements of life.
