Rep Ihonvbere, who moved the motion, expressed concern over the deplorable conditions under which women and children who were displaced by the insecurity mostly in the North-East, who now reside in camps in Durumi and New-Kuchingoro suburbs of the Federal Capital Territory are living.
He said over 4,000 IDPs live in the Durumi Camp and 6,000 in New-Kuchingoro.
He said the displaced persons were mostly nursing mothers who live in squalid condition with no water.
The House urged government to, as a matter of urgency, recognise Durumi and New Kuchingoro camps as camps for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Abuja and provide them with all entitlements and support.
