Over 180 Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) in Bukuru Local Government Area of Plateau State spend N600,000 on feeding, says a Camp Director, Rev. Mancha Darong.
Darong stated this at the weekend in Bukuru near Jos the state capital during the donation of relief materials by the members of the Peace Corps in Plateau State.
“We spend over N600,000 in one month on feeding of the IDP who have been here since 2014. We have also accommodated over 4000 IDP’s since this camp started three years ago”.
He, however, lauded the Peace Corps for their charitable disposition of coming out in their numbers to generously donate to the needy.
Responding the Deputy Commander Peace Corps Plateau State, Patriot Vwarak Davou, said the gesture is in line with the Corps mandate which is aimed at providing succor for the distressed.
Davou who represented the State Commandant Patriot Joseph said the Plateau Peace Corps is also emulating the National Commandant of the Corps who has donated generously to the less privilege.
Daily Times reports that among items donated to the IDP are Rice, Maize, Potato, Water, Eggs, Onions, Salts, Cooking Oil, Soaps, Seasonings and clothes among others.
