The government of Qatar has made a donation of food items worth N6.5m to Internally Displaced Persons in Borno State.
Presenting the donation at the Borno State Government House, Maiduguri, on Tuesday, the Director of Qatar Charity, Sheikh Mohammed Ajur, said that it was meant to complement “humanitarian assistance and intervention” of the United Nations and other donor agencies to feed the IDPs.
The food items comprised of 1,500 litres of palm oil and 1,500 bags of grains including rice, beans, guinea corn, maize and millet.
Ajur explained that the foundation was a charitable organisation with activities worldwide and had worked in collaboration with the Emir of Kano, Mohammed Sanusi II; and Shehu of Borno, Abubakar Ibn El Kanemi.
He praised the royal fathers and state governments for their cooperation and prayed for the quick return of peace to the state and the country at large.
