About 20,000 refugees who fled the Republic of Cameroon are
presently seeking asylum in Taraba State following the crisis rocking the
Nigeria North-Western and South-Western regions of the Central African country.
The Cameroonians have been camping in five local government
areas of the state, including Kurmi, Gashaka, Sardauna, Takum and Ussa.
The refugees had appealed to the Taraba State and Federal
Government to assist in alleviating their sufferings.
Although worried about the security crisis rocking the
state, the Taraba Governor, Agbu Kefas, has assured the refugees of their
safety and protection pending the return of peace in their country.
Represented by his Deputy in a recent meeting, the governor
promised to do his best to foster peaceful coexistence between the two
neighbours.
The meeting is expected to draw recommendations that will
facilitate a seamless integration of humanitarian services to refugees and
vulnerable community members in line with global best practices on refugees.
