The federal government has said that discussions are ongoing on how 15,000 Nigerians stranded in Cameroon, Niger, Chad and other parts of the world will be returned to Nigeria in safety and dignity.

Alhaji TIJANI AHMED, Federal Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), disclosed this at a media briefing in Abuja.

He revealed that no fewer than six million people are displaced in Nigeria while thousands of refugees are living elsewhere across the world.

While reiterating the government’s tireless efforts to ensure the safe return of the displaced persons, AHMED thanked President BOLA TINUBU for the support given to the commission and the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry.
