Receiving the materials on behalf of the people, chairman of the Local Relief Distribution Committee, Mr. Francis Ettah, assured the government that the materials would be judiciously distributed to the beneficiaries.
Ettah, who is also the Chairman of Abi LGA, expressed hope that the problem would be resolved soon to enable the people to return to their homes.
Meanwhile, the Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency in the South-South zone, Mr. Umesi Emenike, has expressed sympathy with the new Bakassi returnees at the Ikot Eyo Edem camp in Akpabuyo LGA of the state.
Emenike, who was speaking during an assessment visit to the camp, said the pathetic condition in which the returnees were experiencing in the camp needed to be urgently addressed.
He promised that within the shortest possible time, the Federal Government through NEMA would deliver relief materials to the victims.
