Just IN: FG lifts ban on AAH, Mercy Corps

The Federal Government on Wednesday lifted the suspension placed on two international Non Governmental Organisations, Action Against Hunger and Mercy Corps, working in Nigeria’s north east states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.

Hajiya Sadiya Umar-Farouq, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development announced the lifting of the ban.

AAH was first shut down by the Nigerian military. Mercy Corps followed suit, with the military accusing them of aiding and abetting the insurgents.
