Telecommunications company, MTN on Saturday donated 330 mattresses and 330 pillows to the Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs at the Bajabure camp in Yola, Adamawa State.
Pedeino Mathias who presented the items on behalf of MTN commended the efforts of NEMA and other humanitarian agencies which have been taking care of the IDP camps.
‘’We are here to donate these items on behalf of MTN. The management wants to identify with the IDPs using this modest contribution. MTN is doing the same today in Borno and Yobe. We appreciate NEMA for their support and cooperation,” she said.
Camp Coordinator, Balarabe Musa thanked MTN Nigeria for identifying with the IDPs while urging other corporate organizations to do same.
“We have received 330 mattresses and 330 pillows as donation from MTN. We are really happy for the concern shown by the company and I assure you the items will be distributed to the IDPs.
“We appreciate donations we receive from individuals and groups and we appeal for more to be able to meet the needs of the IDPs. NEMA is doing its best on behalf of the federal government to accommodate IDPs and make them comfortable but we need the support of all,” he said.
The Chairman of the IDPs, Bajabure camp, Alhaji Madu Goni also thanked MTN for the kind gesture.
“We the displaced persons in this camp are grateful and over joyed that MTN has remembered us and decided to send their donation to help us.
“This shows they care for us and have concern for our plight. We call on other organizations across the country to emulate the gesture,” he said.
