The Borno State government yesterday commenced the relocations of first batch of 602 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at Government Girls Secondary School (GGSS), Yerwa to Dalori resettlement camp for the re-opening of closed public schools over Boko Haram insurgency in Maiduguri metropolis.

Addressing newsmen yesterday at the Government Girls Secondary School, Yerwa, Maiduguri, Kubo disclosed that the relocation of the first phase of IDPs would have started last year, but logistic and security reasons halted it; until yesterday with 602 displaced persons along with their relatives in other camps relocated to the Dalori camp.

His words: “We thank God; it is a reality to reopen our schools that were closed down for over a year now, we are conveying this morning 602 IDPs to Dalori camp with their families, as we have assured the people that this exercise takes care of the basic needs of the displaced persons.

While assuring the relocating IDPs, he said: “We assured the people that where we are taking these displaced persons have water and all basic facilities. Shelter and security have already been put in place.”

He said that the lack of these basic facilities and the security of the IDPs, delayed their relocations to camps for the schools.

Kubo noted: “Now that we have gotten these basic humanitarian and camp facilities in place; we are starting the relocation; and immediately after the relocation; the schools are going to be re-opened”

Speaking on the state of Dalori camp, Kubo maintained that; “As far as we are concerned, the basic necessities needed on ground, are shelter. And for the shelter to accommodate these IDPs, they are being provided with blankets, mats, solar- powered lanterns. There are also kitchens and toilets, put in place for them.

“If there is any other thing that the United Nations is looking for, these are to our mind; are the basic facilities that we should provide; which we have already provided before relocating the displaced persons to the camp.”
