By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

Following the Christmas Eve Plateau massacre, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the immediate humanitarian response and support to the victims of the unfortunate incident.

Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu on Wednesday announced the Presidential approval for humanitarian support for the Plateau massacre and explained that her ministry will immediately collaborate with the Plateau State government to give the intervention to the survivors of the unfortunate attack and the affected communities.

The minister who condoled with the victims, described the incident as senseless, horrendous and inhuman.

Edu said: “It was with utter shock and sadness that I received the news of the barbaric, horrendous and senseless attacks in plateau communities which have left over 100 people dead and injured many while many more are displaced.”

“I condole with the government and people of plateau state, especially families of the victims of this unnecessary assault on humanity and pray for a permanent peace in the plateau.”

“One can only imagine the difficulties and humanitarian challenges facing the survivors and affected members of the communities.”

“As a Ministry directly in charge of responding to humanitarian challenges of citizens in Nigeria, the federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation has been directed by President Bola Tinubu to collaborate with the Plateau state government to bring humanitarian succour to the survivors of the unfortunate attacks as well as the affected communities.”

“We are unrelenting in our efforts to ensure that every Nigerian and all parts of Nigeria experiencing humanitarian crises are catered for in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu”, she added.
