Golij — Over 16 million Nakfa has been disbursed for the construction of residential houses to citizens who were displaced due to the TPLF regime's war of aggression and who are now being rehabilitated in their former areas, as well as to those who were deported from Ethiopia and who are presently being rehabilitated in Golij.
The head of the IDP rehabilitation project, Mr. Tsegai Tewoldemedhin, said that the 1,500 IDP families who returned to the Shambuko and Barentu sub-zones, as well as 1,200 deportees, received 6,000 Nakfa each. He added that the Government, in line with its policy of self-reliance, also offered them farm plots ready for cultivation and farming tools.
It is to be recalled that the Government disbursed about 37 million Nakfa last year for the construction of residential houses to more than 1,600 displaced citizens now rehabilitated in Germe, Tsibra, Fewlina, Sifra-Genet and Shehat.
