The Borno State Government, has requested the sum of $
20million to help resettle refugees displaced by the Boko
Haram insurgency from their homes.
Alhaji Kashim Shettima, the stat’s governor said this when
he addressed the International Committee of the Red Cross,
led by its President, Mr. Peter Maurer in Maiduguri.
Nigerian refugees who live with host communities in Bosso,
Niger.
Shettima represented by his deputy, Alhaji Zannah
Mustapha, said that his administration has been responsible
for feeding the IDPs through the State Emergency
Management Agency.
He also said that even though the military has freed most of
the communities formerly held by insurgents, the IDP’s still
find it difficult to to go back to their homes and restart their
normal lives. Security reports revealed that most of the
roads and streets, leading to the affected communities and
their farmlands, were not safe as Improvised Explosive
Devices and landmines were planted by the fleeing
terrorists.
He said, “We, the government and good people of Borno State,
want to use this opportunity to thank you (Red Cross), NEMA
and other donor agencies for supporting us in this our trying
moment. Twenty-two out of the 27 local government areas were
destroyed, over million IDPs are living in Maiduguri, the state
capital alone.
“Just yesterday, we received another batches of 4,500 IDPs
from Geidam, who were sent away by the government of Niger
Republic and more are still on their way to Maidugui Burden Of Feeding IDPs Is Getting Unbearable Borno Govt Begs For Help
“Borno State needs over 20 million dollars to resettle its people
that were displaced as most houses, business centres and
places of worship were all destroyed by the insurgents.
“Though, the military has liberated 97 per cent of the
communities taken over by insurgents in Borno, it will take time
for the government to fumigate and diffuse the landmines
before they are relocated to their various communities.”
The ICRC President, Maurer, said that they came to Borno to
see the conditions the IDP’s are facing and personally hear
from them.
He said that the commission might be forced to increase the
efforts of his organisation in the area.
