The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Dr Bernard Doro, has announced plans to mark the birthday of President Bola Tinubu with Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

Doro said Tinubu would turn 74 on March 29, and celebration with IDPs is a gesture of solidarity with some of the country’s most vulnerable citizens.

This was contained in a statement by Dr Abimbola Fasanu, Senior Technical Adviser to Doro on Information Systems and Data Analysis on Wednesday in Abuja.

The minister explained that the decision to spend the day with displaced persons would reflect the spirit of compassion and inclusion that underpinned  the President’s approach to governance.

According to him, supporting vulnerable Nigerians remains central to the broader development priorities of the Federal Government under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Tinubu.

Doro further explained that the ministry considered it meaningful to mark the President’s birthday by extending kindness to people who continued to face hardship due to displacement and conflict.

He noted that the visit to the IDP camp in Abuja would provide an opportunity for the ministry to interact with displaced families.

“It will also help to share a moment of celebration with them, and reaffirm the government’s commitment to supporting them until they can return safely to their communities.

“The ministry continues to work with relevant partners and agencies to improve humanitarian support systems across the country while pursuing longer-term solutions that restore livelihoods and promote stability in affected communities,” he said.

He added that humanitarian service must remain focused on compassion, dignity, and the well-being of those most affected by crisis.

Doro also encouraged Nigerians who wished to celebrate the President’s birthday to consider acts of kindness toward the less privileged.

According to him, extending support to vulnerable members of society would be a meaningful way to honour the values of compassion and national unity.

He further disclosed that prayers would be offered for the President’s continued strength, wisdom, and success in leading the country.
