Territorial Administration Minister, Atanga Nji Paul on Sunday September 6, 2020 chaired a colourful and heavily-attended ceremony at the courtyard of Far North Governor's Office to hand over the Presidential relief materials to representatives of the affected population for distribution at the grassroots level.
