Mohammed explained that the donated items were meant to serve as palliative measures to cushion the bad effects as a result of the loss of their loved ones killed by armed bandits and cattle rustlers. “We are giving these items to the families of those who lost their breadwinners and also empowering the IDPs to improve their socioeconomic status,” he said. xThe News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the items donated by the commission included food items, household utensils, agricultural equipment, and empowerment equipment. They include mattresses, cooking stoves, cooking oil, blankets, buckets, mats, blankets, noodles, sewing machines, grinding machines, pots, rice, beans, maize, palm oil, and millet bowls. Responding on behalf of other beneficiaries, Malam Bala Adamu, commended the commission and the lawmaker for the intervention, saying the gesture would bring succour to them.
