The benefiting LGAs are Chikun, Giwa and Zangon Kataf local council areas where 1,000 beneficiaries in each of the LGAs, mainly Internally Displaced Persons, were provided with the food items. The items included bags of rice, beans, vegetable oil, salt, seasoning and sugar.
During the flag-off of the distribution of the commodities in Chikun on Wednesday, Sunday Oyibe, an official of VSF, said the foundation was set up to provide succour to victims of banditry, terrorism and other related problems.
He said the foundation focused on four areas, including livelihood, to enable victims of banditry and terrorism to recover and get reintegrated into the society. He, however, said that food was very critical to the victims, especially considering their condition, stressing it was out of humanitarian consideration that they provided the food items.
