Crisis in the North-Western and South-Western regions of Cameroon has pushed it’s citizens to seek asylum in Taraba State.
The refugees who are nearly 20,000 in number are presently camped in five various 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.
