After about three years stay in refugee camps in Maiduguri, the Borno-State Capital, hundreds of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from the Konduga Local Government Area of the state, on Monday returned home.
The evacuation of the IDPs back home was witnessed by the Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, at a ceremony in Maiduguri.
The Governor urged the returning IDP's to be law abiding while at home.
Speaking at the event, Shettima said, "We thank God for today, because the day is significant in our efforts to return all people in liberated communities back home."
Speaking further, the Governor said, "Government has set aside 25 hectares of land for the community to allow the people engage in meaningful ventures.
"We are going to assist those of you wishing to engage in agriculture with different support, in terms of improved seedlings and other things."
Shettima said the action was also aimed at allowing the IDPs celebrate the forthcoming Sallah in their respective homes.
