The President made the pledge on Wednesday in Abuja while speaking
at the inauguration of the Presidential Committee on the Repatriation,
Return and Resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons in the North-
East of Nigeria, which preceded the weekly Federal Executive Council
meeting.
Buhari said that his regime was embarking on a revised approach to
addressing the 13-year insurgency in the region and would not relent in
efforts towards a return to peace and normalcy in the North East and
return it to the path of development and growth.
On the Terms of Reference for the committee, the President emphasised
a need for a shift from managing the situation to activating a permanent
solution for effective and practicable restoration.
He said the committee, among others, was expected to develop a concise
three-year action plan by the end of March 2022 that incorporated
national and state level plans, providing a clear pathway for the
restoration of peace and development in the North-East.
The committee, he said, would also develop and implement a phased
plan for the repatriation, return, resettlement of the IDPs and restoration
of livelihoods, incorporating global best practices that give dignity to the
affected populations.
