Fola Adeola, the Deputy Chairman of the committee on the Victims Support Fund, set up by the immediate past administration to pool together resources and provide support to victims of Boko Haram insurgency and other similar clashes, has resigned.

Mr. Adeola, a former Vice-Presidential candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, who tendered his resignation, last Monday, to the Chairman of the committee, Theophilus Danjuma, did not give any reason for quitting the committee.

Mr. Adeola could not be reached for comment as he was said to be out of the country.

However, his PR consultant, Jimi Disu confirmed over the phone that he had indeed resigned from the committee.

“He believes that he has done enough to stabilize the place and get the committee going, and he has moved on,” said Mr. Disu.
