Minister for Women Affairs, Aisha
Jumai Hassan, slumped yesterday at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp
in Fufore local government area of Adamawa State.
She was inside the camp’s store to
inspect foodstuff and other items supplied by the Federal Government.
There was a mild drama as her aides
engaged journalists in a physical combat to avoid taking pictures of the
incident.
An aide of the minister who ordered them out of the store smashed recorders of some reporters.
While addressing the IDPs earlier,
the minister said that she visited the camp on the directive of President
Muhammadu Buhari to investigate the allegations of rape and children abuse in
camps in the Northeast.
Hassan urged the IDPs to believe the
present government and that very soon they would be back to their ancestral
homes.
The minister who also presented
assorted items to the IDPs said that government was working hard to rebuild the
region and that the administration would continue to provide people-friendly
projects to Nigerians.
She had earlier visited Governor
Mohammed Umar Bindow, who urged to return the Women Development Centre occupied
at present by the Appeal Court to the real owners.
Bindow promised the minister that he
would urgently find a solution to the issue.
He commended Buhari for his zeal in
rebuilding the Northeast and improving the living standard of women in the
state.
