Nigeria: Jos Crisis - Yuguda Promises Job For Displaced Persons

Bauchi — Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State has promised people with requisite qualifications among the hundreds of internally displaced persons (IDPs) from the crises in neighbouring Plateau State who are now taking shelter in various camps in the State of employment in the state civil service.

Governor Yuguda made the promise at Boto Camp of Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of the state during a visit to distribute relief materials to the IDPs.

He also assured them that a befitting accommodation would be provided for them before the rainy season begins.

While calling on eligible people among the IDPs to submit their documents at the State Emergency Management agency (SEMA) for employment in the State's Civil Service, he said the State government was also going to provide farms and grazing land to the displaced persons.

The Governor added that already the host local government area had demarcated plots of land for the construction of houses for the displaced persons.

In his response on behalf of the IDPs, Alhaji Haladu Adamu Mai Bulawus thanked the governor for the gesture and assured him that the people were law abiding and appreciative of the support they had been receiving from the state government.

Alhaji Mai Bulawus requested that since they were going to be provided with farm lands they should also be provided with fertilizers as all of them were farmers.
