Relief items loaded in the pick-up trucks include bags of rice, bags of garri, bathing soap and loaVES of bread among other items. The materials were presented on behalf of Mukoro by his Special Assistant Hon. Joshua Panama.

While receiving the relief materials from Panama, Camp Commandant of St. Micheal College, Oleh, Mrs. Helen Obanedo, who said she was short of words over Mukoro’s humanitarian gesture to the flood victims thanked him for donating generously to the needY, just as she noted that they appreciated his effort in ameliorating the pains of the flood victims.

Responding on behalf of Mukoro, Joshua Panama said Mukoro donated the materials to the various camps as a way of expressing his humanitarian feelings to the flood victims. He said pick up load of relief materials and truck load of pure water each were distributed to four different camps.
