The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has resolved to provide technical support at all levels to contribute to peace building, intervention, reintegration and community reconstruction efforts in Nigeria’s northeast.
The IOM pledged to support the Nigerian Army to deescalate conflict in the North East and the country at large.
Dr. Fernando Medina, IOM’s Head of Transition and Recovery and Representative of the Chief of Mission, made the promise in Maiduguri when he visited Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, the Chief of Army Staff.
In his response, Buratai commended the organisation for its efforts toward strengthening peace and security in the world, particularly Nigeria.
He expressed readiness to provide IOM with the needed support to effectively carry out its plans in the North East Zone of Nigeria.
