UN Commends FG’s Peace Restoration, Humanitarian Services In N/East

The United Nations, UN has lauded the Federal Government over the successes recorded in the counter-terrorism campaigns and humanitarian services to address humanitarian crisis, enhance stability and recovery process in the North East.

The UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Mark Lowcock, made the commendation in a statement in Maiduguri, Borno state.

Lowcock, who just concluded an official visit to Borno, disclosed that the government’s feat enabled over two million displaced persons from the BoKo Haram onslaughts to successfully resettle back to their communities.

He said that humanitarian organisations operating in the country received support from the international community and should operate in accordance with international standards, including counter-terrorism related conditions, national laws, and humanitarian principles.

He noted that their operation in that way was not only a matter of principle but also a required practical condition of funding from the major donors.
