"The Okuama people's plight is a pressing concern, and we implore the government to expedite their resettlement. While we acknowledge the establishment of the IDP camp, we stress that a permanent solution is imperative."
The donated items, including a cow, rice, and garri, were meant to alleviate the camp's inhabitants' suffering. Chief Okpubigho reiterated the Club's commitment to supporting the Okuama people, urging the government to fulfill its promises. "We are confident that Governor Oborevwori's administration will prioritize the Okuama people's welfare, ensuring their prompt resettlement."
Mr. Abraham Ogbodo, Chairman of the Ewu-Okuama IDP Management Committee, expressed gratitude for the donation and appealed for continued support.
