The Adamawa Government says it has relocated no fewer than
350 Internally Displaced Persons(IDPs) made up of mostly
women and children.
The IDPs were relocated from the transit camp in Mubi to the
designated camp in Malkohi, Yola South Local Government
Area of the state.
Haruna Furo, the Executive Chairman of Adamawa State
Emergency Management Agency (ADSEMA), made this
known to the News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN) in Yola on
Saturday.
Mr. Furo said the move was to ensure adequate welfare of the
IDPs and easy coordination of operations.
The relocation, he said, would also enable the state
government to reopen the Mubi Burnt Brick Factory initially
used as a transit camp.
“We relocated about 350 Internally Displaced Persons, mostly
women and children, from the Mubi transit camp to Malkohi
camp in Yola South Local Government Area.
“The development is to bring together all IDPs in the state
under designated and secured camps,” Mr. Furo said.
He said all the IDPs arrived safely and were camped
successfully.( NAN)
