Vice President visits Maiduguri

 

The Vice President Yomi Osinbajo is on a one day visit to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital to visit victims of Boko Haram insurgency and the people displaced during the crisis.

The vice President who is accompanied by the Director General of National Emergency Management Agency(NEMA) Alh. Sani Sidi is expected to visit some designated IDP camps in the metropolis.

He is also expected to visit victims of bomb attacks in the state receiving treatment in different hospitals within Maiduguri.

The Vice President according to available information will also proceed to Yola in Adamawa state on the state mission.

The Federal Government last week condemned the recent wake of attacks by the Boko Haram insurgents, just as President Mohamadu Buhari has also pledged to supports victims of the insurgency in the state and the Northeast region.

The visit of the vice president to Maiduguri today marks the first high powered delegation of the APC led Federal Government of Mohammadu Buhari after he was sworn-in as president on May 29, 2015.

We gathered that the visit is a step towards getting first hand information of the condition of the victims and the IDPs by the Federal Government for onward action.
