The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has distributed some relief materials to over 45 members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving in Adamawa State.
The corps members who benefited from the materials are those affected by the recent crisis in the state and were subsequently relocated to the General Gibson Jalo Cantonment.
The NYSC members, who are on their primary assignments in Mubi, Yola North, Yola South, Numan and Lamurde Local Government Areas of the state, sought refuge following alleged threats to their lives by some hoodlums, as well as the recent killings in the state.
Some materials which included food items, beverages and household items were received and distributed by the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) on behalf of the corps members from the agency’s north-east zonal office.
Assuring that the corps members are protected in the military custody, the Brigade Commander of the 23rd Armored Brigade of General Gibson Jalo Cantonment, John Nwogu, said it was the duty of the army to protect the lives and property of the citizens.
