The Federal Government has been urged to quickly utilise the Terror Victims’ Funds, in addressing the deplorable conditions of victims of insurgency in the North-East.
Mallam Abubakar Abdullahi, the Sardauna Michika in Adamawa, who made the call in an interview with Daily Sun in Yola, also urged the committee managing the fund to involve trusted and reputable indigenes of the affected areas in its strategy to ameliorate the plight of the victims.
According to him, the call became necessary as a result of the deteriorating conditions of the victims from Adamawa and Borno states, many of who were taking refuge in schools in Mubi, Gulak, Madagali and Uba in Adamawa State.
He said: “These people are Nigerians and they need urgent help. They have been devastated by the insurgency and apparently there seems to be no way out.
“When you to various primary schools in Madagali, Uba, Mubi and Michika, you will see the victims of the insurgency languishing in object poverty. No water provided, no food supply or good sanitation.”
