Abuja, Nigeria – The Emma Njoku Foundation has reaffirmed its commitment to humanitarian service with a visit to an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Abuja, delivering essential supplies and emotional support to families affected by displacement.
Nigeria has one of the largest IDP populations in Africa, with over 3 million people forced from their homes due to insurgency, communal clashes, natural disasters, and other forms of insecurity. The Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East, armed banditry, and herder-farmer conflicts have been key drivers of this crisis, leaving many families dependent on aid to survive.
During the visit, the Foundation—led by the General Manager Dr. Albert Anusi —distributed food items such as rice, beans, and cooking oil; clothing and footwear; hygiene kits; and school supplies for children.
Our mission is not just to provide relief but to restore dignity and hope, said Dr. Albert. Behind every statistic is a human being with dreams and potential, and we are here to remind them they are not forgotten.
The visit also highlighted the resilience of camp residents, especially the children whose excitement over receiving school materials underscored the importance of education as a pathway to a better future.
