Minister for Women
Affairs, Aisha Jumai Al-Hassan, slumped yesterday at the Internally Displaced
Persons (IDPs) camp in Fufore Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The
Guardian report continues:
She
was inside the camp’s store to inspect foodstuff and other items supplied by
the Federal Government.
There
was a mild drama as her aides engaged journalists in a physical combat to avoid
taking pictures of the incident.
An
aide of the minister who ordered them out of the store smashed recorders of
some reporters.
While
addressing the IDPs earlier, the minister said that she visited the camp on the
directive of President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate the allegations of rape
and children abuse in camps in the Northeast.
Hassan
urged the IDPs to believe the present government and that very soon they would
be back to their ancestral homes.
The
minister who also presented assorted items to the IDPs said that government was
working hard to rebuild the region and that the administration would continue
to provide people-friendly projects to Nigerians.
She
had earlier visited Governor Mohammed Umar Bindow, who urged to return the
Women Development Centre occupied at present by the Appeal Court to the real
owners.
Bindow
promised the minister that he would urgently find a solution to the issue.
He commended Buhari for his
zeal in rebuilding the Northeast and improving the living standard of women in
the state.
