In Commemoration of this year’s World Humanitarian Day, the Nasarawa State government has taken responsibility to feed and dewormed over 200 Almajiri children and other vulnerable groups in the state.
The event which was organized by the Ministry of Humanitarian Service and NGOs led by the Commissioner, Princess Margaret Itake Elayo took place on Friday in Lafia, the state capital ahead of the 2024 Humanitarian Day on Monday August 19, 2024.
In a chat with our reporter, the Commissioner stated that the initiative was a resounding success, against the backdrop of its impact in the lives of the beneficiaries.
She said that, “We are proud to have made a positive impact in the lives of these vulnerable youngsters.”
The feeding and deworming of the Almajiri children climaxed the organized event by the state ministry’s programmes in marking the 2024 Humanitarian Day.
Recall that the event commenced with the preparatory programmes on Wednesday August 14 with a fitness workout and tennis games which had the Executive Governor of the SAbdullahi Sule and his Deputy, Dr. Emmanuel Agbadu Akabe amongst other officials of the state hovernment as participants.
The theme for World Humanitarian Day 2024 is #ActForHumanity.
#ActForHumanity is a powerful reminder of the importance of the protection and treatment of civilians – including humanitarian workers – during war.
