The United Kingdom Foreign Commonwealth and Development (FCDO) has said it would spend N4, 223,496,406.14 as a grant through the CARE International-Nigeria to implement a 19-month ‘Strengthening Protection Services and Resilience’ project in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.
The project is scheduled to reach 37,500 women, children and marginalised groups, including internally displaced persons, returnees and host communities disproportionately affected by the years of violent conflict.
The CARE Nigeria’s country director, Dr Hussaini Abdu, who revealed this Friday in a statement, added that the project would cover five local government areas, namely, Borno (Jere and Bama), Adamawa (Yola North), and Yobe (Potiskum and Gujba).
