Today, Beautiful Gate Handicapped People Centre Jos, Plateau State donated fertilizers to a group of farmers consisting mostly of Youths who are carrying out farming activities in sacked communities in Miango Bassa LGA, Plateau State.

Speaking at the occasion, Chief Ayuba Burki Gufwan the Executive Director of Beautiful Gate Handicapped People Centre lauded the unity of purpose and communal efforts/spirit being exhibited by the Irigwe Nation and called on other ethnic groups who are going through similar fate to borrow a leaf from them especially the communal farming model.

He expressed joy seeing the strong supporting the poor and weak ones through communal efforts and described the model as commendable and worthy of emulation to discourage any form of land grabbing.

He admonished the youths present to take their education seriously saying it is the best form of self development.
He said the Centre distributed food Palliatives to people with disabilities in all the Local Governments in the State and realized fertilizer is best considering the enthusiasm of the people to farming and prayed God to bless their efforts. He said he us sure the assistance will boost food production and reduce hunger and poverty.

In his remark, Prof. Danny McCain, a Member of the Board of Trustees of the Centre said though Beautiful Gate core mandate is alleviating the plights of people living with disabilities, it deemed it fit to reach out to the area which he described as a handicapped community on account of violent crisis.

He charged them to forgive the aggressors, trauma and focus on the future with greater hope for their families to grow and for them to celebrate the love of God even though he is aware that it will be hard to forget the atrocities and hostilities meted on them and having lost loved ones, productivity, means of livelihood, Churches and schools but said God will restore them beyond their imagination.

He encouraged them by sharing Biblical Message from Mark 4 & Luke 8 after which he prayed for the fertilizers, the land and people. Prof. McCain admonished them to put their trust in God, discard any form of pessimistic disposition and remain positive about life saying a brighter future lies ahead of them.

In his remark, the Chairman Miango Youth Development Association, Nuhu Nkeli expressed delight and appreciated the Centre for identifying with them and assisting them with the most important farm input (fertilizers) and said it will help improve productivity and bumper harvest.
He said the Centre has done a lot in diverse ways to the area and prayed God to open more doors so they can reach out and impact more communities within and outside the State with humanitarian gestures.

Representative of the District Head of Miango, Chief Isaiah Nkie lauded the Centre for the humanitarian intervention to the people and urged others to emulate the kind gesture.
