With a proven track record of having worked at the echelon of several top administrative establishment, Haj. Sulaiman, staffers revealed is poised to deliver the much-anticipated results with her vast experience on the job.
“She detests impunity, frowns at indolence and insist on due process; she has zero tolerance for corruption”, said Mr Jeremiah.
According to him, Haj. Sulaiman is leaving no stone upturned to plug the loopholes for corruption and the odious business-as -usual practice that is endemic.
“What we are after is the eradication of mass poverty, hunger and meeting the needs of IDP’s in Nigeria; we want to see real time solution to these unacceptable standards”, he stated.
The task before Haj. Sulaiman and the Commission are not such to require kid gloves.
“ Look at women suffering from pre—natal care; absence of drugs, delivery facilities and hunger; they are human beings like us and we need to sympathise with them which is what Haj. Sulaiman is doing”, Mr Jeremiah explained.

Nigeria which pledges to ensure the availability and access to durable solutions for Refugees and IDP’S is said to play host to refugees and asylum seekers from neighbouring countries Niger, Central African Republic. Sudan and DR. Congo.
