The Federal Government through the Northeast Multi-Sectoral Crisis Recovery Project has started distributing agricultural inputs and non-food items to more than 20,000 households in seven local government areas of Adamawa state.
The humanitarian assistance is to ease the hardship caused by more than a decade of terror-related crisis.
Tarfa, who was represented by Alhaji Muhammed Danjuma, federal project coordinator of the Programme, said the intervention included rehabilitation of infrastructure affected by insurgency in the areas.
“The North East Multi Sectoral Crisis Recovery Project (MCRP) is being implemented by the Federal Government in partnership with the World Bank in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.
“The core objective of the project is to support Government of Nigeria in rehabilitation and improving critical infrastructural service delivery to improve and sustain the livelihood of conflict and displacement in affected communities in North East,” Tarfa said.
He said the distribution was a continuation of several interventions made by the programme in the benefiting communities.
Residents excited about the gesture say both the relief items and new security measures will open a new chapter in their lives.
There have been violence in these local government areas in the last decade, and for the first time, the people enjoyed the last Eid holidays without violence.
They’re hopeful this is a sign of peaceful days ahead.
