The Federal Government has discovered an unofficial IDP Camp known as Shuwari Camp in Borno State.
The Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu who made the discovery during her working visit to the state recently expressed concern over the below-standard living conditions of Nigerians living in the camp. The minister restated President Bola Tinubu's commitment to reducing the poverty level in the country to the barest minimum.

Dr. Edu distributed some food items, clothing and other materials to the campers from the ministry. She announced that the Federal Government will integrate the new IDP Camp into the government's recognised camps, and will further provide other needed supports like improved housing, medical materials and provisions, mosquito nets, food and others to improve the living standard in the camp. She also assured the campers that they would be added to the Social Register, and would benefit from other Federal Government's programmes like the Conditional Cash Transfer.
