All is set for the voluntary return of Nigerian refugees staying at the UNHCR camp at Minawao

 

The Minister of Territorial Administration Atanga Nji Paul landed at the Maroua Salak airport this March 6, 2021 to supervise this event for the count of the government of Cameroon. Most of the ground work has been done according to the representative of the Borno State Government and Special Adviser to the Executive Governor, Engineer Lawan Abba Wakilbe which was laid down at the tripartite agreement signed by both governments last February. This include; vaccination of animals, the carrying out of COVID -19 tests to the returnees, the availability of buses to transport the refugees and accommodations made available to host them back in Nigeria. Some 5000 Nigerian refugees are expected to start the voluntary repatriation to their country in the days ahead.
