Most Of The Boko Haram Displaced Kids Don’t Know Their Parents, No Homes, Buhari Laments

President Muhammadu Buhari has painted a sordid picture of the children displaced in the war with Boko Haram insurgents, saying that most of them don’t know their parents and have no homes.

The President,  who spoke today, November 25 as he received in audience, the President of the 74th United Nations General Assembly, Nigeria’s Professor Tijjani Muhammad-Bande at the presidential Villa, Abuja declared: “most of the displaced children do not know their parents, or where they come from.”

He stressed that the rehabilitation of internally displaced persons (IDPs), most of who are those children,  is urgent and imperative, adding that delays could constitute a big problem to Nigeria in future.

“We have to look at the issue now, properly rehabilitate them, otherwise, we will have a problem on our hands in the future.”

He called on the UN General Assembly President to make Nigeria’s challenges glaring to the world, even as he commended him for his hard work and competence so far.

Responding, Professor Muhammad-Bande said that he had come to express appreciation to President Buhari for the support given, which led to his emergence as UNGA President, and the continued cooperation from Nigeria.

“Everything I have requested for, in terms of personnel and funds, has been delivered. I thank President Buhari very much. I also thank other member states for the support I am getting.”

Professor Muhammad-Bande also appreciated Nigeria for rebuilding the UN Building in Abuja destroyed by Boko Haram.
