He assured the displaced persons that NEMA was willing to continue with the relief aids until they are completely rehabilitated. Over 200,000 out of the 250,000 displaced people have been catered for, he claimed as he promised that no one would be overlooked.

Kanar stated that those who will be attended to consist of displaced residents of Sandiya, Yasku, Kuruk, Maiwa, Kawuri, Mafa, Konduga, Bama, Jakana, Alajari, Mainok, and Malari areas of the state

2,800 persons  from the targeted 6,000 persons in the town will be attended to during the flag off of direct distribution of relief materials in Maiduguri, he further stated.
