The corp members numbering about 20 were received by the coordinator of the IDPs who expressed his joy and surprise at the corp members for finding it thoughtful to come and visit the IDPs especially at this terrible economic condition.

In his speech, the president of the association Mr Augustine Offor, presented some food aids and some other essentials for their up-keep. He noted that they were moved by the newspaper reports of the terrible condition of the IDPs  due to lack of food stuffs and other necessary relief materials that will help them to live a normal life. He encouraged the IDPs to accept the gifts of the corp members without looking at how small or big they were rather at the heart that giveth. He also assured them that the NACC family will continue to support and and pray for them.
