The Federal Government has released the sum of N15 billion for the repatriation of Internally Displaced Nigerians from the three neighbouring countries.

The internally displaced persons (IDPs) were those who fled to Chad, Cameroon ans Niger at the peak of Boko Haram and other terrorists activities in the North-East and other parts of the country, seizing swathes of land and territories.

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno state, made the disclosure Friday, while briefing newsmen at the State House, Abuja, after a meeting of Repatriation, Ruturn and Resettlement Committee chaired by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo

According to Gov. Zulum, “few months ago, the President established a committee for the repatriation, return and resettlement of IDPs living in the Republic of Chad, Cameroon and Niger back to Nigeria. 

” Based on the recommendations of the Chairman of this committee, the Vice-President, the sum of N15 billion has been released to the committee. 

” We are here to discuss the modalities for implementation; who does what. So far, so good. A lot has been discussed. 

” Many items will be procured so that the repatriation exercise will take immediate effect.”

Asked how many IDPs have been repatriated so far, the Borno state governor said, “more than 300,000 have been repatriated. But under this phase, we are yet to begin the process. 

” This is the 4th phase of the repatriation exercise we shall embark upon very soon. 

” Guidelines were provided for respective agencies that are to handle this matter. What should be given to the individuals in terms of food and non-food items; what type of house shall we build; what is the transportation medium? 

“What is the minimum threshold required to return people from the neighbouring countries to Nigeria?

“These are some of the issues that were discussed according to international best practices,” he said.
