The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has decried the consistent rise in the number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Benue, Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.
Its representative in Benue, Adewole Oke, disclosed this on Thursday in Makurdi while delivering a goodwill message during the presentation of the Benue Framework toward addressing humanitarian challenges in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the state’s Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management organised a one-day workshop with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), IDPs and Journalists as participants.
Mr Oke said that over the years, the number of IDPs in the four states, largely women, the youth and other marginalised groups, had increased.
