Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno state says his administration is working towards repatriating over 200,000 internally displaced persons living in Neighboring countries.

Zulum said the exercise will commence on November 27.

“I came to brief the president on the plight of Nigerians that are living in the Republic of Chad, Cameroun and Niger, especially the indigenes of Borno State, numbering over 200,000,” he said.

“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.”

He said modalities are already being put in place to ensure the safety of the returnees.

“The ministry of humanitarian affairs with its agencies; National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Refugee Commission, as well as the North-East Development Commission and the Borno state government have the capacity to shoulder the responsibility for the exercise,” he said
