Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that the challenge his government faces now is catering for the millions of IDPs across the country.
Speaking at the opening of the sixth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD VI), Buhari said Boko Haram terrorists have been degraded.
''I took over the mantle of leadership in Nigeria when the North-Eastern part of the country was being ravaged by Boko Haram.
''However, soon after assumption of office, our administration with the support of our immediate neighbours -- Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin- and international partners including Japan, faced the challenge frontally. `
''As I speak, the terror group has been decimated and life is beginning to return to normal in the affected region. The challenge we currently face which is also being addressed, is that of the IDPs which number over two million to get them re-integrated with their families and their original homes,’’ he said.
