Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, alongside Nigerian Ambassador to Chad, Zannah Umar Bukar Kolo, on Wednesday met President Idriss Debby of the Republic of Chad over repatriation of thousands of Nigerian refugees, majority from Borno, who in batches, fled killings by Boko Haram since 2014.

The meeting, which was held at the Presidential Palace in N’Djamena, was also attended by Chadian Ambassador to Nigeria, Abakar Saleh Chahaimi.

Zulum while briefing journalists after the meeting said: “I am here in Chad to see our people currently taking refuge at The Darsalam camp in Baga Sola. We met them yesterday. Our people are doing very well, the government of Chad is taking care of them. So I am here to express appreciation to the President for his generosity towards our people here in Chad. We have also discussed how we can voluntarily repatriate our people to Nigeria.

“Basically, we are here for three things: meet our people, thank the government of Chad and intensify collaborative efforts to repatriate those who are willing to be safely resettled in different parts of Borno,” Zulum said.
