Nigeria’s Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, has broken ground for the construction of Renewed Hope shelter for the poor and Internally Displaced Persons at Tatyo and Kyo community in Makurdi North Local Government Area of Benue State. The groundbreaking ceremony was performed alongside the State Governor, Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia. Dr. Edu said the project was in fulfilment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s promise to reduce humanitarian crises and poverty challenges in Nigeria. The Renewed Hope shelter, which has a learning centre, health centre, and market, will be built by the community members in clusters under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation in partnership with the Benue State Government. Since 2011, over 12,000 people have lost their lives in Tatyo alone, and thousands more rendered homeless due to attacks by suspected armed herders in the Markudi North Local government area of the state. The Minister commended Governor Alia for ensuring that peace returned to Tatyo and Tyo communities, as well as other communities which have been engulfed by violence since 2012 resulting in the displacement of hundreds of thousands from their homes.
