The wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari has called on Nigerians and friends of Nigeria to support more Federal Government’s effort in reviving the North East region which has suffered severe devastation from insurgency.
Speaking on Tuesday while receiving the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China, Mr. Zhou Pingjian, who paid her a courtesy call at the State House, Abuja, Mrs Buhari said that four years without economic activity has subjected the affected people to victimization and extreme poverty.
She noted that the worst hit by the insurgency are women, many of whom have been widowed and children that have been orphaned. She therefore urged for support from all Nigerians and friends of Nigeria in ameliorating the challenges.
Speaking on her flagship programme, Future Assured, Mrs. Buhari said a lot of effort has been made in terms of helping internally displaced persons (IDPs) as well as those of them that have returned to their communities.
She disclosed that the programme has intervened in 15 local governments involving 500 families and is doing more, especially in the area of assisting the 150,000 unaccompanied children in the region.
