Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him.

IOM Compassionate Aid: Flood Affected Disabilities Receive 30,000 Naira Support in Anambra

By Chidimma Ajemba 

The International Organization for Migration has provided support to about 250 farmers with disabilities in flood-affected areas of Anambra State, offering credit cards with N30,000 each. 

This initiative aimed to alleviate the hardships faced by these farmers due to their sudden migration from coastal areas to internally displaced centers.

Mr. Hezekiah Samuel, the Anambra Field Coordinator for the International Organization for Migration, addressed the farmers at the Anambra State Disability Rights Commission in Awka.

He emphasized that IOM's role as a UN Migration Organization, is to support those affected by floods in Anambra and other states, with a focus on promoting humane and orderly migration.

"We understand that persons with disabilities are particularly vulnerable during natural disasters.

"This card contains N30,000 and a special pin has been provided for withdrawal. It's IOM's way of lending a helping hand to alleviate the hardship caused by the last flooding."

Mr. Thomas Mark Onugbolu from the Anambra State Emergency Management Agency, urged the farmers to utilize the support effectively, commending IOM for transparent project execution.

Mr Ikechukwu Ezeokafor, representing the farmers and the Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities, Anambra State Chapter, expressed gratitude to IOM and looked forward to future engagements.
