Benue State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA, weekend commenced the relocation of close to 20,000 Internally Displaced Person, IDPs, from unpalatable locations in Makurdi town, Daudu and Uikpam in Guma Local Government Area, LGA. It also called on the federal government to pay greater attention to the pitiable condition of IDPs in the state.
The relocation of the IDPs to a newly built camp in Uikpam Guma LGA is being carried out in collaboration with humanitarian partners including Action Aid and Nigeria Red Cross.
Flagging off the relocation exercise, Executive Secretary of Benue SEMA, Dr. Emmanuel Shior said Governor Samuel Ortom approved the new camp to provide a conducive environment for IDPs housed at the LGEA Primary School Daudu, Uikpam host community and those on University of Agriculture Road, Makurdi.

They are women who have seen it all in life. They are within the age bracket of 73 and 90 years. An encounter with these group of women who have spent the last three years in Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs camps that dot the landscape of Benue state was quite revealing.
Without doubts, their facial expression clearly gave out the weight of the pains and the very prolonged unpleasant experiences they bear in these camps which evokes emotion.
And from their snarling remarks the deep rooted grouse they hold against the Federal Government over their continuous stay in the camps, the accompanying ordeals came to the fore.

Good morning,
We are leading with the arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria, the emergence of fuel queues in the nation’s capital, and how the Benue State government is managing herdsmen’s activities.

The Vaccines are here
All things being equal, almost four million doses of COVID-19 vaccines will arrive in Nigeria today. The vaccines, supplied by the WHO-backed COVAX, will include the AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson types, according to the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Olorunnimbe Mamora.
