President Muhammadu Buhari said his administration
has begun the process of putting together comprehensive data on all
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Nigerian refugees with a view to
speeding up their resettlement.
The President stated this while receiving the United States
Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Samantha
Power, at the Presidential Villa, on Thursday, April 21.
President Buhari said
that the compilation of reliable data on the IDPs and refugees was
being handled by designated Federal Government agencies, the military
and other security agencies.
"We have frightening indices of the number of people and the situation
in the IDP camps across the country. And in spite of the government’s
efforts and the hospitality of individuals and organizations, the
situation needs better handling.
"A large segment of the IDPs
are mostly women and children. Some of the children are orphaned and
don’t know where they came from.
"Now we are working on getting a
comprehensive data of all the people in the camps so that the
government and NGOs will be properly briefed on where and how to support
them," he said.
The President said that IDPs, who were into
farming before they were displaced by the Boko Haram, will be mobilized
and assisted by the Ministry of Agriculture to return to their farms.
Ambassador Power commended the Federal Government for always being the
first and highest responder to the IDPs in various camps in the country.
Power, who had earlier visited Nigerian refugees in Cameroun, said the situation in the camps could be improved with more information on the number of people in the camps and their areas of need.
