Malnutrition: Senators’ wives donate to IDPs
The Senators’Wives Forum (SWF) has contributed towards fortified foodstuffs and body care products for weaned infants and children at the various Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in some parts of the country.
The Forum, represented by Hajia Hadiza Ali Wakili and Mrs. Louis Gyunka from Bauchi South and Nasarawa North Senatorial Districts, and the Executive Coordinator of the Forum, Ms. Inimfon Etuk, made the donation during the launch of the “Get Involved” component of the Future Assured Initiative, organised by the wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, in Abuja.
The Get Involved campaign was meant to rally contributions from Nigerians to address heightened incidence of malnutrition in IDPs camps.
In her remarks, leader of the delegation, Hajia Hadiza Wakili, who spoke on behalf of the Forum Chair and Wife of the Senate President, Mrs. Toyin Saraki, said:“We are moved by the rising and alarming reports of hunger, starvation and malnutrition of our displaced citizens, especially young infants and children. We hope our contribution will go some way to alleviate the heavy public burden of care for our sisters, brothers and children in these displaced communities, as canvassed by the Wife of The President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Mrs. Aisha Buhari.”
