The recent happenings in Plateau State that led to establishment of refugee camps for internally displaced persons resonates with our humanity and mandate to intervene with some relief materials

The group was represented by Dr Surajudeen Junaid and Scientist Solomon Chollom with Scientist Tanimu Umar as the leader of the delegation.

Presenting the items, Scientist Tanimu Umar said the gesture was in line with the mandate of the group adding that personal hygiene of members in the camps was crucial to community health
