The Federal Government, yesterday, said Nigeria has over 600,000 Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, from the North East of the country alone, since the insurgency started in 2011.
The Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and IDPs, NCFRMI, Hajia Hadiza Kangiwa, stated this while briefing journalists on the programmes lined up for 2014 World Humanitarian Day in Abuja, tagged, ‘Become a Messenger of Humanity.”
She said the number of IDPs in Nigeria was increasing daily because of the continued insurgency in the North East of Nigeria.
