Usman told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Bauchi on Sunday that the amount realized was meagre considering the over 2000 IDPs taking refuge in Bauchi state.
He however said that in spite of the meager amount realised, the organization was able to touch the lives of the displaced persons positively.
He thanked Gov. Mohammed Abubakar of the state for providing the association with venue during the concert and urged him to continue encouraging the organization to embark on humanitarian activities.
