Mrs Buhari said “to a lot of them its like starting life all over again and the little assistance from good natured citizens  will go a long way in helping them to settle down and start life afresh” , speaking further Her Excellency said she had already spoken to five companies and eight truckloads of food had been made available  so far.

The wife of the president was speaking while receiving a delegation of four women who recently climbed the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilamanjaro in aid of raising funds for the IDP’S .

Mrs Buhari noted that the intervention of the private was a way of discharging their corporate social responsibility to the society and a path to nation building.

The four women, which include the wife of the governor of Ogun State Mrs Funso Amosun, Remi Abere, Uzo Nwani and Debo Laditan spent ten days in climbing and descending the mountain as a way of raising funds for the IDP’S .

The gesture was initiated by one of the climbers Remi Abere  who said it was her way of giving back to humanity on her 50^th birthday to raise awareness on the plight of the displaced persons .
