The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development Sadiya Farouq says the federal government is determined to ensure that Nigerian refugees are returned to the country in safety and indignity.
Farouq, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary Bashir Alkali, made the remark when a delegation from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR in Geneva paid her a courtesy visit in Abuja yesterday.
The minister said one of the ministry’s priorities is to sustain the process of bringing back the refugees which includes the development of sustainable home-grown models for rehabilitation, reintegration, and reconstruction.
