The Federal Government, on Sunday, vowed to probe the alleged hoarding of relief materials meant for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
The Federal Commissioner of the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons, Aliyu Ahmed, disclosed this after uncovering relief supplies hoarded inside classrooms at the Durumi IDP camp in Abuja.
Ahmed, who was at the Durumi IDP camp to inaugurate a computer centre donated by the Brand Life Vision Foundation, embarked on an inspection of the camp and discovered that food and non-food items meant for distribution to the IDPs were being stored in classrooms instead.
The commissioner announced plans to set up a committee to investigate similar cases in other IDP camps across the country.
The commission assured the IDPs of the government’s continued commitment to their welfare, while pledging to continue supporting their education by working with the Universal Basic Education Commission to provide teachers for displaced children.
