He said the association shared the agony of both countries resident in Nigeria, as proprietors of many schools, hospitals as well as engaging in humanitarian activities.

“MURIC is deeply worried about the fate of their families back home in both countries at this crucial period.

“It is ironical that a foreign humanitarian group that is offering health and educational services to Nigerians has suffered such a gargantuan calamity. It hurts us to the marrow.
