NEMA resumes intervention in Borno IDP camps

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has said that it had resumed weekly supply of relief materials to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in Borno, following the successful conduct of the 2015 general polls.

The NEMA North East Coordinator, Alhaji Mohammed Kanar stated this at the end of a stakeholders meeting in Maiduguri.

Kanar explained that the agency had suspended its operations during the polls to avoid politicisation.

“We had to stay back for a while, because a number of polling units were located at the camps.

“We do not want to be involved in the politics at the camps during the elections,” he said.

Kanar said that although NEMA continued to provide essential materials at the camp even during the polls without any noise.

“Although we rushed in to provide some materials at the Lamisla Primary School to the IDPs from Northern Borno who were displaced few days to the election.

“We felt that the best thing was to suspend large scale distribution of relief materials to avoid politicisation,” he added.
