The Vice-President of Nigeria, Yemi
Osinbajo has revealed that the Federal
Government has put plans in place to
ensure the safe return of people who
were displaced by Boko Haram.
Osinbajo also assured journalists that the
final plan will be rolled out as soon as
various stakeholders approve it.
The Vice-President also accused Boko Haram
of creating a humanitarian disaster that
needs urgent attention.
He said “But it is for such a time as this that
the visionary leaders of Niger, Cameroon,
Chad and Nigeria established the Lake Chad
Basin Commission in 1964.
“Those pioneers expected that working
together as brothers in the commission, the
ecological, commercial and social lives of the
Lake Chad basin stood a much better chance
of survival. They expected, even then, that
there would be challenges, but they knew
that the most daunting challenges are
conquered by men and not spirits.”
“And they trusted in the creativity and hard
work and the unbending will of their
descendants to preserve the legacy that they
left behind. That legacy is facing the most
important threat today.
“The question is whether the twin challenges
– the humanitarian and the ecological – will
defeat the will, creativity and patriotism of
this generation of leaders of the Lake Chad
commission.
“If this were to happen, then in a few short
years, the commission would probably, only
exist on paper. God forbid,” Osinbajo said.
