“Now that we have started witnessing a gradual return of peace to Borno, these people of Borno taking refuge in neighbouring countries are willing to return home.

“Therefore, Borno state government has fixed a date of Nov. 27, 2021 for the commencement of their repatriation process, especially to two LGAs of Abadam and Guzamala.

“So, I came to solicit for the support of the President with a view to ensuring a hitch-free repatriation exercise.”
