The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the state’s Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management organised a one-day workshop with Civil Society Organisations , IDPs and Journalists as participants. “Over the years, the number of IDPs in Benue, Borno, Yobe and Adamawa have doubled, particularly women, the youths and marginalised groups.

It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall.”Through a human development approach, we have proposed to renew and create a synergy between displaced citizens and the state,” he said. Mr Kunde noted that the workshop was also aimed at identifying the needs of the IDPs and those of communities affected by the crisis in the state.

The IDPs, who called on the government to enhance security at the camps, also appealed to the government to empower more women and the elderly with skills.NAN further reports that over 1 million people were currently displaced in the state due to incessant attacks in communities.
