Griffiths who lauded the gradual return of peace to Borno, stressed the need for people in need to get support in time and in a dignified way from all stakeholders.

“We therefore see our role to provide aids, assistance and support where we can through our agencies to those people in need,” Griffiths said.

In his remarks, Gov. Zulum expressed the appreciation of government and people of Borno to UN agencies for their interventions, particularly the unique role being played by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Zulum urged the team to use the visit to interact with all stakeholders for first hand information on realities on ground and efforts being put in place.

Zulum, who explained to the team why his administration is closing some of the camps in Maiduguri because of pandemic and social vices, urged the team to visit some of the camps, particularly Muna Camp, which remains one of the worst camps in the world that is not fit for human habitation.

“I look forward to discussing how we can best work together to reduce the suffering of people affected by insurgency, and how we can support people not only to live but to live in dignity,” Zulum said.

The governor, who also spoke on improved security, said the death of Boko-Haram leader, Shekau, has provided opportunity for many of his fighters to surrender to the military, adding that many hostages being held as slaves by the insurgents also had the opportunity to come out.
