The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has donated relief materials worth millions of naira to residents of Nimbo community, in Uzo-Uwani local government area of Enugu State who were recently attacked by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
It would be recalled that the Monday, 25th April early morning attack left scores dead, and hundreds displaced, while many are battling for survival at different hospitals in the state.
Speaking while presenting the relief materials to the devastated community yesterday, Director- General of NEMA, Alhaji Mohammad Sani Sidi, who sympathised with the people, said the federal government shares in their grief and pains.
The NEMA chief, who was represented by the South East zonal coordinator of NEMA, Mr. Martin Ejike Udeinya, said the gesture was in line with the agency’s mandate of responding to disaster affected communities in the country.
“We are here today to present relief materials to Nimbo community after carrying out a comprehensive assessment of the damage done to the area recently. These items is to cushion the effect of the damage in the community.”
He disclosed that a five man committee made up of NEMA, Red Cross, NSCDC, ESEMA, and the police have been set up to ensure judicious and transparent distribution of the items to the real victims.
