On a bright Thursday morning, hundreds of families residing at the Bulumkutu rehabilitation camp in Maiduguri, Borno State, were engulfed in jubilation as the Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, extended a compassionate hand by distributing vital food items as part of the federal government’s immediate relief package.
Among the camp’s inhabitants, special attention was given to the 14 rescued Chibok girls and their children, who have been undergoing rehabilitation within the camp’s confines. Accompanying the Minister were esteemed officials, including the Borno State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajia Zuwaira Gambo, and the Acting Hon. Commissioner for the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants, and IDPs, Ambassador Catherine Udida.
The relief items generously distributed by Dr. Betta Edu included bags of Rice, Corn, Beans, Garri, Vegetable oil, Maggi, and other essential food items. These provisions aim to alleviate the suffering of those exposed to humanitarian crises, particularly women and children, in Borno State.
Highlighting the broader vision, Dr. Betta Edu emphasized that these efforts were part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda,” designed to uplift millions of Nigerians out of poverty. This ambitious strategy seeks to address long-term solutions to the region’s insecurity and insurgency issues.

She pledged unwavering federal government support under President Tinubu’s leadership, promising continuous psycho-social support from her Ministry.
