The distribution was carriedout in collaboration with the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) and targeted at eight communities in the Local Government Area. A total of 300 households of the PLWDs benefitted from the relief materials which were distributed directly to them.
The relief materials distributed were food and non-food items.
NEMA’s Director-General, Mrs Zubaida Umar who was represented by the coordinator NEMA Kano Territorial Office Dr Nuraddeen Abdullahi, emphasized that the gesture was aimed to address the immediate needs and support the beneficiaries’ recovery efforts. The distribution was made possible by a request from the NCPWD for NEMA’s intervention, in line with the Federal Government’s renewed Hope Agenda under President Bola Ahmed’s leadership.
The Executive Secretary of NCPWD, Ayuba Burki-Gufwan, represented by Hajiya Fatima Abubakar Doki commended NEMA for its support and concern for vulnerable people, while Adamu Aliyu-Kibiya, Kano State Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, applauded NEMA and NCPWD for mobilizing relief materials for the PWDs in Kano.
Representatives of the affected communities expressed their gratitude to the federal government, through NEMA, for the timely and valuable assistance.
This initiative underscores NEMA’s commitment to providing swift relief to disaster-stricken communities across the country.
