Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, visited the Dagba Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Area 1, Abuja, where he presented malaria prevention items and clothing items for women.
Speaking to the IDPs, Dogara assured them of government’s commitment to returning them to their communities as soon as possible.
The speaker maintained that whereas he presented food items and clothing to most of the camps he visited across the country, however, it has become imperative to provide the IDPs with malaria prevention items.
He expressed gratitude to Malaria Care Foundation which donated the items to IDPs in the Federal Capital Territory and called on other spirited individuals and corporate bodies to emulate their gesture.
“We want to thank them specifically for changing the narrative, it has always been that we depend on government to provide things like this, it’s either we are depending on government, and if government doesn’t do anything; nobody does nothing, or sometimes we call on foreign nations to help.”
He once again urged the IDPs to be patient and hopeful as government is working to return them to their communities.
