The Nigerian in the Diaspora Commission has applauded the humanitarian gesture of a Nigerian-Canadian, Vivian Etuka, as she visited Internally Displaced Persons camp and orphanages in Abuja.
The Nigerian-Canadian visited the camp and orphanages with food items, clothes, toys and books for inmates’ welfare and wellbeing.
A statement signed by Gabriel Odu of NiDCOM Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit said the Commission’s Chairman/CEO, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, received the Founder and CEO of Bethel Outreach Community Services in Abuja, urging other Diasporans, individually and collectively, to emulate Etuka’s passion and commitment towards helping the less privileged in the society.
Dabiri-Erewa said Etuka’s gesture clearly shows the kind, brotherly nature of Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religion.
The NiDCOM Chairman recalled that she had the privilege of meeting Etuka, who also runs a shelter home for homeless immigrants in Ontario, during her visit to Brampton, where she met with stranded Nigerians in Camps last year, seeking asylum.
In her remarks, Etuka thanked the NiDCOM Chairman for her assistance in making the project a reality.
According to her, she is very passionate towards the needy, hence, a reason to start a charity group back home.
While receiving the palliatives, Ibrahim Amodu, the Durumi IDP Camp Chairman, thanked the NGO for their kind gesture, as they are in dire need of these relief items.
Also, Hajia Zainab Basah, Home Supervisor of Halal Children’s Home, Life Camp appreciated the NGO, who sacrificed their resources to bring succour and happiness to the faces of children and commended NIDCOM boss for her facilitation and love for the less endowed.

Goods donated by the Charity Organisation were new clothings, food items, new beddings/blankets, toys and educational materials for children who have been out of school for over a year.
