Senator Aliyu Wamakko, representing Sokoto North Senatorial district has demonstrated his commitment to the welfare of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Sokoto State by donating foodstuffs and other essential items to 1,787 IDPs.

The donation is aimed at supporting the IDPs as they prepare for the upcoming Ramadan fasting. 

Represented by his Director of Administration, Alhaji Al-Mustapha Abubakar, Wamakko stated the gesture is part of his ongoing efforts to complement government initiatives in alleviating the economic hardship faced by IDPs.

The items, which include 200 bags of rice and maize, 400 bags of millet, 3,560 pieces of clothing materials, 100 cartons of vegetable oil and seasoning, and 70 bags of salt, will be distributed across nine IDP camps in the state.

Other utilities include tomato mix, blankets, casseroles, and mosquito nets.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony at his Constituency office in Sokoto, Wamakko assured the IDPs that their current situation is temporary and that the government is working to restore peace in their communities.

“I want to assure you that your present condition is not permanent. Soon, you will return to your homes and reunite with your families and loved ones,” he said.

The beneficiaries, including Aisha Murtala and Asma’u Muhammad, expressed their appreciation for the donation and prayed for Wamakko’s continued support.

“We appreciate your kindness and generosity. May Allah bless you and your family,” they said.

Wamakko’s gesture has been welcomed by the IDPs, who are struggling to cope with the challenges of displacement.

The donation is expected to provide some relief to the IDPs as they navigate the difficulties of their situation.
