In a bid to address the plight of displaced persons and provide relief measures, the Gbong Gwom Jos, Da Jacob Gyang Buba, has officially launched a humanitarian and relief committee in Berom land. The 12-member committee, led by Gwom Rwey of Vwang, Da Gyang Gutt Balak, was inaugurated at the Gbong Gwom’s Palace in Jishe. Their primary objective is to mobilize support and resources for immediate aid, including food, clothing, healthcare, and other essential materials, for the victims of recent attacks within their domain.

Da Buba strongly condemned these attacks, describing them as acts of inhumanity perpetrated against innocent and unarmed villagers in his domain and other parts of the state. He urged the security agencies to gain the confidence of the citizens by identifying and bringing to justice those responsible for these calculated attempts to displace communities from their ancestral homes and farmlands.

The Gbong Gwom also called upon the state government and the State House of Assembly to collaborate on legislation for the establishment of a Local Government Emergency Relief Agency. This agency would enable swift and efficient responses to crises and disasters at the local government level. Additionally, he highlighted the importance of the committee in developing a resettlement and rehabilitation strategy that aligns with the provisions of the Anti-land grabbing law of the state, ensuring the safe return of displaced persons to their ancestral villages and farmlands.

Expressing gratitude on behalf of the committee, Chairman Da Gyang Gutt Balak, the Gwom Rwey Vwang, appreciated the Traditional Council for entrusting the members with the responsibility to fulfill the committee’s goals. The committee comprises the chairpersons of Jos North, Jos South, Barkin Ladi, and Riyom Local Government Councils, as well as the presidents of Berom Registered Organizations. Additionally, the Principal Private Secretary to the Gbong Gwom Jos and Barr. Solomon Mwantiri serve as members, with the latter also assuming the role of committee secretary.

The inauguration of this committee marks an important step towards addressing the pressing needs of displaced persons and facilitating their rehabilitation. As they commence their work, the committee aims to alleviate the suffering of those affected by the recent attacks, offering hope and support to restore their lives and communities.

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.

Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.

Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.

Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.

Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.

Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.

The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.

For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.

The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.

With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
