Data from the United Nations refugee agency says that as of 2019, Nigeria has over 244,000 refugees and more than 2 million internally displaced persons.

public accounts committee has expressed displeasure over the inability of the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons to provide relevant documents to back up the spending of N25 billion appropriated for it between 2015 and 2019.

However, the commission’s director of finance and account, Umaru Hassan, who gave the presentation, said the sum of N22.369 billion was released, N14.735 billion of which was for capital expenditure. Not satisfied with this, the committee’s chairman, Wole Oke, while requesting for details of all the capital projects by the commission, said there were inconsistencies in the documents tendered by the commission.
