The Federal Government has said it will soon begin voluntary return of Borno State indigenes at Minawo refugee camp in Cameroon.

She said: “Very soon we will begin the voluntary repatriation of our Borno State indigenes living at Minawo camp in Cameroon as refugees in safety and in dignity.

“We signed a Tripartite Agreement with the UNHCR and government of Cameroon on the repatriation of Nigerian refugees in Cameroon and started its implementation with the return of over 130 refugees to their communities in Adamawa State.”

The minister noted that the adoption of GCR is a good omen for Nigeria, as it has opened a new vista of opportunities for stakeholders to access support in a timely, predictable and sustainable manner.

According to her, the pact has created an incentive for stakeholders to join forces and pool resources to address the  humanitarian challenge and to do it with the intention of addressing underlying causes in a sustainable and humane  manner.

Farouq said Nigeria has the highest number of refugees in the Lake Chad Basin and carries the heaviest burden of the humanitarian challenge among Cameroon, Chad and Niger Republic.

“In the Lake Chad Basin  region, there were over 3.3 million Forcedly Displaced Persons (FDPs), comprising over 2.7 million IDPs in North-East Nigeria, 513,000 IDPs in Cameroon, Chad and Niger and 244,000 refugees in the four countries. Nigeria has the highest number and carries the heaviest burden of the humanitarian challenge.

“The adoption of GCR is a good omen for Nigeria. It has opened a new vista of opportunities for stakeholders to access support in a timely, predictable and sustainable manner.”
