SEMA Executive Secretary Mr Sunday Abdu said during the distribution on Friday that the intervention was from the Bank of Industry (BOI).
Abdu, who was represented by his Senior Special Assistant Mr Ashoms Azi, said the items were donated by BOI after Governor Caleb Mutfwang visited various organisations soliciting support for victims of the various attacks.
The executive secretary said that government would continue to prioritise the welfare and wellbeing of the IDPs.
Mr Ayuba Matawal, Chairman of the Bokkos Local Government IDPs Welfare Committee, who received the items, assured that the items received would be judiciously distributed to the IDPs.
