officials of the Ministry of Women Affairs that part of the money his
administration would recover from looters would be used to fund the
ministry. He gave the assurance when ?the Permanent Secretary, Ezekiel
Oyemomi, led officials of the ministry to brief ?the President on its
activities and challenges at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He assured that the resettlement and
comfort of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) remains a top priority of

realized that his ministry was demanding.
He said, “when you look at what the
ministry is set up to do, we cut across 70 per cent of the population
dealing with the issues of women, children, the vulnerable, people with
disabilities, the distressed, distressed families and the lot.
“He (the President) gave his word that
once government can recover some funds, he will make sure that such are
