Dr. Rechad Ikiebe, in his remarks, said his team had visited  displaced communities in the state where destroyed houses and churches were seen without people. He emphasized the dire need for relief materials to assist those who have lost family members and parents to  enable them to partake in the Christmas festivities.
Dr. Ikiebe expressed gratitude to Governor Mutfwang for standing by the Plateau people during challenging times and pledged unwavering support to addressing the plights of the IDPs.
