NIMASA DISTRIBUTES RELIEF MATERIALS TO IDPS IN EKITI
The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has distributed relief materials to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Ekiti State.
The Ekiti State Government also promised not to relent in its efforts to give assistance to disaster victims and vulnerable people to live normal lives again.
During the distribution of the relief items yesterday, the state Deputy Governor, Chief Bisi Egbeyemi, said the state government would always collaborate with governmental agencies, corporate organizations and donor agencies to give succor to vulnerable people to relieve them of their burdens.
Some of the relief materials handed out to the beneficiaries include tricycles, motorcycles, grinding machines, hairdryers, sewing machines among others.
While commending NIMASA for the gesture, Egbeyemi described the action as an example of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which should be emulated by other corporate organizations and well-meaning individuals.

“At this juncture, I must say that it has always been the state government interest to assist vulnerable people in the state to reclaim their normal lives and achieve self-sufficiency without becoming a burden.
“This is evident in its efforts at various angles through programmes to give a better life to its citizenry. In the light of this, I would like to implore all the beneficiaries to make good use of the items distributed.”
