Over 85,000 IDPs from Borno state are taking refuge at Diffa resettlement camps, established by the Nigerien government in 2014. Shettima disclosed this on Thursday, while receiving the Nigerien Governor of Diffa Province, Alhaji Mohammoudu Lawaly Dan Dano at the Government House, Maiduguri.
He said the IDPs taking refuge in Diffa Province of Niger, are adequately catered for by the Nigerien government, without being discriminated or abandoned, as Niger and north part of Nigeria share the same historical and cultural backgrounds. He said that the re-opening of the border roads with Niger will also facilitate the repatriation of 85,000 IDPs from Niger Republic to Borno state.
"I will meet the Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj-Gen. Lucky Irabor next week, and discuss with him the possibility of reopening this closed border roads that lead to Niger Republic. The re-opening of this road will also facilitate the repatriation of displaced persons taking refuge in your province of Diffa.”
Shettima assured Dan Dano that the re-opening of the road could activate and facilitate trade, farming, and tourism, which had been affected by the Boko Haram insurgency for over five years.
Responding, Dan Dano assured the Governor that all the displaced persons in camps, are being taken care of, including the provision of health care delivery services. He said that all the female IDPs that gave birth to babies in camps had been issued with birth and registration certificates

Its a pity, some Nigerians have argued in Ask Nigerians with the same picture
Closing of borders continues to be a problem ezpecially due to Boko haram, but this is not what many Nigerians believe is the solution to insurgency. You can Ask other Nigerians here
It's a welcome development, goes to the tremendous success achieved in the war against boko Haram.

The Hausa's are planing there SECESSION by doing everything to develop the North under Buhari, from oil flowing from Niger , to Morocco King flying to Nigeria on assets shopping spree,and less i forget , spending billions of tax payer money looking for imaginary OIL in the Northern state. Buhari has made it known , he doesn't give a Dam about BIAFRA, Damazu's job is lock there leaders up and throw the keys away ,the Niger-Delta people BOMB them to submission ,and the Yorubas leaders like Tinubu ,diminish there role in the political system and give the protege juice federal post.In Niger-Delta, Jonanthan versus Amechi and Wike, in the east Buy Oji Kalu ,in the southwest Tinubu versus Fashola, Amosun,Akeredolu,and Fayemi. Saraki is bi-sexual ,could be Hausa or Yoruba Which ever is convenient for the politics of the DAY. So far his getting away with all this with immunity of being a SOLDIERS SOLDIER .
