Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum has closed an internally displaced persons, IDP, camp located at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in the state and relocated 1,464 IDP households to Auno.
The relocated IDP households were displaced from Konduga and Bama Councils during the 12-year Boko Haram insurgency in the state.
With the closures of NYSC and Mohammed Goni College of Legal and Islamic Studies (MOGOLIS) camps, 25 IDP camps remain to be closed this year by the state government.
While declaring the camp closed on Monday in Maiduguri, the State Commissioner of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RRR), Mustapha Gubio said, “The relocated IDPs were given three options of resettlement in Auno, Maiduguri metropolis and their respective communities.”
