President Muhammadu Buhari has assured that the return of persons displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency to their home communities will start in earnest next year.  Buhari gave the assurance at the Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday while receiving a delegation of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) led by former British Foreign Minister David Miliband.

The president said his government would do everything within its powers to facilitate the quick return and resettlement of over two million internally displaced persons in their towns and villages.
