The Nation Newspaper Shettima calls for global partnership to end internal displacement in Nigeria
Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged for a global partnership to address the issue of internal displacement in Nigeria, pledging the federal government’s unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of displaced citizens.
He recalled his experience dealing with conflict and displacement, just as he emphasised the need for a collaborative, cross-border approach to tackling the multifaceted challenge. “Let us harness the strength of our partnerships, both local and international, to bring about lasting change,” he urged.
“By doing so, we not only address the immediate needs of the displaced but also create a foundation for a more stable and prosperous future,” the VP said. “Over four million Nigerians remain in search of solutions to their forced displacement,” she stated, adding that the state action plans “capture the first essential steps towards solutions.”
“Let me reiterate our commitment on behalf of the United Nations: We will keep supporting on the ground; we will help rally donors; we will chase missing partners; we will bring lessons from elsewhere; we will celebrate your successes; we may occasionally bring you unwelcome news sometimes, as friends must; but we will stand behind you. We fail or succeed together,” he said.
He commended Vice President Shettima’s inspirational leadership as well as the commitment of all the development partners involved in the project which he said aligns with the vision of the Benue State government to build a society where all residents can live in peace and harmony. On his part, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Richard Montgomery, commended the progress witnessed during his recent visit to the North-East and the government’s approach to encouraging more development investments.
