Coolwazobiainfo, Wazobiamax TV management visit Abuja IDPs camp

It was all tears of joy and happiness galore when the management of Coolwazobiainfo as well as staff of Wazobiamax TV visited the internally displaced persons (IDPs) camp in Karamajiji, Abuja on Sunday.

The delegation, led by veteran radio presenter and Head of Stations Wazobia FM, Nigeria Info FM and Cool FM, Mr Expensive James, donated relief materials to the IDPs, including: cartons of Indomie noodles, tubers of yam, bags of rice, bags of garri, detergents, fruit juice, confectioneries, among others.

Speaking on behalf of the management and staff of Coolwazobiainfo and Wazobiamax TV at the event, Mr Expensive said that they came to celebrate the 59th independence of Nigeria with the IDPs; in order for them to have a sense of belonging.

He, however, implored the IDPs to always believe in themselves and not use their poor background as an excuse not to develop themselves, even as he advised them to learn skills and be ready; as job opportunities may come at any time.

He said: “We have been visiting the less privileged in different parts of Abuja, as it is part of our corporate social responsibility to render assistance to people whenever we can. Today, we decided to come with the management and staff of Coolwazobiainfo, Wazobiamax TV as well as Wazobia Airconditioner family

 to celebrate with the IDPs and give them a sense of belonging, especially as Nigeria recently celebrated her 59th independence anniversary.

“The conditions of the IDPs are very pathetic, but we are all Nigerians. I implore well meaning Nigerians to always remember the less privileged. Nothing is too small or too big for the IDPs. We should not always wait for government to do everything. We should help whenever we can. All of us here are part of government. We are hoping for a better future for the IDPs.”

While showing appreciation for the relief materials, one of the IDPs, Mrs Sadia Ajiya, said she has been living in the camp since 2015 and appealed to good spirited individuals to intervene in the plight of the IDPs.

“I am a Diploma holder of Business Administration, but I have been finding it difficult surviving here in Abuja after Boko Haram insurgents attacked my village in Gwoza, Borno state. However, our situation here will be tolerable if well meaning Nigerians can remember us,” she said.
