The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and partner agencies are worried about the continued stay of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) living in camps within Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

The humanitarian crises has kept thousands of children out of school for a while, with classes serving as temporary shelter for the displaced.

Stakeholders in the humanitarian business have concluded plans to relocate the IDPs and reopen schools.

Issues arising from their continued stay in camps with overstretched facilities is top on the agenda of a strategic meeting between NEMA, partner agencies and officials.

Officials of the Borno State Primary Health Care Development Agency offered explanation for the circumstances surrounding recent cholera outbreak in some camps leading to the death of 15 persons, as education authorities are already preparing for school resumption within the next two weeks.

Military authorities also believe that returning the displaced to their original homes is the only panacea to the issues surrounding their stay in camps.

Eager as the displaced are to return home and pick up the pieces of their lives, there are still reports of pockets of attacks going on in remote villages.

Until such a time when communities are certified safe enough for civilian habitation, the displaced victims of insurgency are left with no other option than the make shift camps.

Nearly 5,000 indigenes of Borno State Internally Displaced were recently evacuated from neighbouring Adamawa state.
