President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated his administration’s commitment to ending Boko Haram insurgency.
Buhari, speaking Hausa language, gave the assurance while addressing Internally Displaced (IDPs) in Malkohi Camp in Yola on Friday.
“We remain committed to ending Boko Haram, ensuring your safety and welfare, particularly your children and their education.
“By the grace of God, it’s our wish that you will be at your farm next cropping season,” Buhari said.
Buhari assured the IDPs that government would not only recover their areas from the insurgents, but also help in rebuilding destroyed structures particularly schools and hospitals.
He lauded Adamawa Government, NEMA and other organisations for their effective caring for the IDPs and assured them of sustained Federal Government’s support.
Gov. Muhammadu Jibrilla of Adamawa lauded NEMA for its effort in managing the IDPs in collaboration with the state government and called for sustained support from Federal Government.
Responding on behalf of the IDPs, Mr Nicholas Samuel thanked government for showing concern for their plight and making them to feel at home.
Samuel, who prayed for sustained military victory over the insurgents, expressed their happiness and hopes to return home very soon.
