Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El Rufai Thursday has commended the management of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, (NIMASA) for its initiative to give succour to the internally displaced persons across the country.
Governor El Rufai stated this on Thursday while receiving the Agency’s Management team led by the Director-General, Dr Bashir Jamoh who were in the state to present some relief and empowerment materials from NIMASA to assist internally displaced persons to ease their resettlement process into the society.
He noted that investment by NIMASA in the educational sector through its CSR initiative is considered an investment in the future of Kaduna State.

“We in Kaduna State are very glad for this intervention by NIMASA and your continuous effort to support us, particularly in the educational sector.
Speaking earlier, the Director-General of NIMASA’ Dr Bashir Jamoh noted that the quest to support the efforts of the Government in reintegrating Internally Displaced Persons into the society was the driving force behind the Agency’s intervention.
“As a responsible agency of government, we decided to heed the call for support to state governments to reintegrate internally displaced persons into the society.
He continued “Our intervention is in three categories: income-generating palliatives to facilitate means of livelihood via self-employment for direct and indirect employment, food items and educational materials. We acknowledge the fact that education is key to capacity development and nation-building”.

In a related development, NIMASA also donated relief and empowerment materials to displaced persons in Gombe State.
The empowerment materials donated by NIMASA include tricycles, sewing machines, grinding machines, sugar cane extractors, vulcanizing and welding machines amongst others.
