Zamfara Government said it has received $2.5million from Saudi Arabian Donor Agency to support internally displaced persons with humanitarian challenges.
The commissioner for Humanitarian and Relief Matters, Musa Kainuwa, disclosed this at the closing session of a five-day medical training on Minimum Initial Service Package, MISP, in Gusau on Friday.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the training was organised by the United Nations Population Fund, UNFPA, in collaboration with State Ministry for Humanitarian and Relief Matters.
Mr Kainuwa said the state secured the assistance during a joint meeting between the donor organisation, Jigawa, Katsina and Zamfara state governments held in Kaduna.
“We are not relenting in our efforts in searching for assistance to ensure we give the desired treatment and support to vulnerable communities.
“We must commend the UNFPA, WHO and all other international donor organisations that are providing the state with all forms of humanitarian gesture to ease the lives of the vulnerable,” he said.
In his remarks, Audu Alayande of UNFPA, noted with concern the extent of humanitarian crisis that hit the state, saying UNFPA would continue to render the needed support.

#EndBadGovernance: Borno minors still in detention, defence lawyer cries out
Three minors in Borno State, detained for allegedly participating in the #EndBadGovernance protests, remain in custody despite a recent directive from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for their release.
While President Tinubu’s order, issued three days ago, led to the release of detained minors in Abuja, the minors in Borno remain held in a juvenile facility in Maiduguri. Barrister Yakubu Alhaji Adamu, their defense lawyer, confirmed they are still detained due to a court order.
Initially, the minors appeared before Justice Aisha Mohammed Ali at the State High Court 10 in Maiduguri, where they entered pleas of not guilty.
