LAGOS, June 20 (Xinhua) -- Nigeria will unveil a National Integrated framework for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) by September, Yemi Osinbajo, the country's acting president said Tuesday.
The acting president made this known at a ceremony to commemorate the 2017 World Refugees Day in Abuja, the nation's capital.
The framework would integrate appropriate interventions through effective utilization of data, research and planning for the return, resettlement, rehabilitation and reintegration of all persons of concern, he said.
The new approach would be a shift from relief dependent measures to real and measurable durable solution strategies, Osinbajo told his audience.
According to him, the framework of intervention is a demonstration of commitments of the Nigerian government towards a more responsive, radical and creative approach in providing durable solutions for displaced persons.
He said Nigeria was committed to the smooth implementation of the tripartite agreement with Cameroon and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on the voluntary repatriation of Nigerian Refugees in Cameroon.
He appreciated UNHCR, other UN agencies, international and Civil Society Organizations for their support and the Military for a successful operation which contributed to the willingness of displaced persons to return home.
