photo: Internally Displaced Person from Gwoza does not want to return to his hometown

This man pictured is one of the numerous IDPs in Bauchi State. At the launching of the distribution of 200 Farm to Market Tricycles to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the state on Thursday, August 4th, he told Governor Muhammad Abdullahi Abubakar that they don't want to go back to their hometowns. He explained that the kind of hospitality and care they receive from the Governor and the people of Bauchi State is what informed his decision and many others among the IDPs. He begged the Governor to assist them with lands so they can build homes to live in.
