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.
