Japan donates $3.5m to IDPs in Northeast Nigeria

It was gathered that the Japanese Government has donated about $3.5million to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) as part of its contributions to boost food supplies to Internally Displaced People (IDP) in Northeastern part of Nigeria.

A statement made available to Daily Sun, on Tuesday, by spokesman for the UNWFP in Nigeria, Mr. Adedeji Ademigbuji, said the funding would allow the WFP to deliver food to more than 160,000 people in Borno and Yobe states, where the Boko Haram insurgency has left many people starving and malnourished due to severe shortages in food supplies.

Said he, “We commend the Government and people of Japan for their continued contributions to WFP’s operations in Northeast Nigeria,” said WFP Country Director and Representative ad interim in Nigeria, Mr. Ronald Sibanda.
