Yobe State Governor and Chairman of the Lake Chad Governors’ Forum, Mai Mala Buni, has visited Nigerian refugees at the Kaya site in Lac Province, Chad, to assess their living conditions.
Buni praised the peaceful relationship between the refugees, their host communities and the Chadian government.
The governor also urged the refugees to obey the law, avoid crime and report suspicious people, movements and cases of infiltration in their area.
He expressed satisfaction that some of the refugees were engaged in fishing and farming, saying the activities would help them become more self-reliant.
Buni assured them that the Nigerian government would continue working with the Chadian authorities to support their welfare.
“For those of you willing to return home, you should liaise with the Lake Chad Basin Commission to take the census, while the state governments repatriate you back to your respective states,” Buni said.
