Wise Youth Development Foundation (WISE DEF), a non governmental organization in Plateau State has put smiles on the faces of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Mangu and Bokkos local government areas of Plateau State by distributing farm inputs ranging from fertilizer, Irish potato seeds, improved seeds of maize, and chemicals.
The gesture was courtesy The Emergency Humanitarian Response Fund Intervention by WISE-DEF with support from Ireland Government titled, “Promoting Food Security/ Livelihood of IDPs and Host Communities in Bokkos & Mangu LGAs of Plateau State.
Speaking to the IDPs in Mangu and Bokkos LGAs, the WISE DEF Executive Director, Hon. Obadiah Afwanks described the intervention as a durable solution to the looming hunger & starvation staring at the people of the State.
He charged the beneficiaries to learn from the Biblical parable of the two wise servants who received the talents given to them and multiplied them, and by so doing more people would benefit.
On his part, The Miskaham Mwaghavul, His Majesty, Da Michael Hirse described Government of Ireland and WISE-DEF as important partners and God sent in the trying & difficult moment of the people of Mangu LGA as he prayed God to bless them.
