BUK CHAPTER OF ASUU DONATES FOOD ITEMS WORTH N5M TO IDPS
It is good for people to help the
needy and poor. But a question for
the government of Nigeria, where is
all the money budgeted for IDP
camp? Since Boko Haram has been
defeated, why don't IDPs return to
their homes?
Personally, I thank BUK branch of
ASUU for their kind gesture and
implore them to remember IPOB
members Nigeria Army and Fulani
Herdsmen made orphans.
The Bayero University Kano (BUK)
chapter of the Academic Staff Union
of Universities (ASUU), on Friday,
donated food items worth five million
naira to the Internally Displaced
Persons (IDPs) in the North East.
The BUK ASUU Chairman, Dr Ibrahim
Barde, who inaugurated the campaign
for the food distribution in Kano, said
the gesture was to assist in reducing
the sufferings of the IDPs at the
various camps in the zone.
“The intervention scheme is also
meant to support them in their plight,
which calls for immediate actions
from different parts of the country.
“The distribution of the food items
will begin immediately to the
identified IDPs in the North East.
“This gesture is part of the
contributions from different lecturers
in the university, who were tasked by
the ASUU to help the IDPs,’’ he said.
Barde described the gesture as a
model developed by the BUK ASUU,
and was intended to encourage other
institutions in the country to emulate
such scheme.
“We are just embarking on such
scheme by coming to the aid of
those people and we planned to make
it a monthly affair of the union.
“Most people misconstrued ASUU’s
agenda, thinking that we only go for
strike when there is dispute between
us and the government.
“But this time around, we are going
on a compassionate mission to
alleviate the hardship of the IDPs in
the country,” he explained.
Some of the food items donated
included, rice, millet, sugar spaghetti,
maggi, vegetable oil and palm oil.
