United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington, has introduced the sum of $102 million in humanitarian help to Nigeria.
The funds will probably be administered primarily by way of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) workplaces of Food for Peace (FFP) and Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), in addition to the U.S. State Department’s Bureau for Population, Refugees, and Migration.
During the ‘National Conversation on the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus’ on Friday, Symington stated the funds will handle the shelter, well being and meals safety wants of populations in northeast Nigeria, who're battling with the results of the Boko Haram insurgency and help to kids who've been separated from their households.
“These funds for Nigeria signify the overwhelming majority of the U.S. authorities’s new $112 million infusions for the Lake Chad area.
“Our hope is that this new investment in humanitarian assistance will combine with the efforts of your government and people to move Nigeria forward on a path to peace and prosperity,” the ambassador stated.
