By Joel Ajayi
The National Commission for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI) has announced plans to sponsor 10 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) for university education.
As part of this initiative, the Commission also revealed plans to relocate 40 internally displaced households from the Federal Capital Territory to Keffi, Nasarawa State.
This announcement was made alongside the launch of a computer center at the Durumi IDP Camp in Abuja, aimed at providing IDPs with digital literacy and technological skills to enhance their academic and professional opportunities.
The Federal Commissioner of NCFRMI, Ahmed Aliyu, shared these developments during the inspection and official launch of the computer center. He explained that the initiative is part of the Commission’s ongoing intervention under its “Project Educate All” program.
Aliyu emphasized the Commission’s commitment to empowering displaced persons through education and digital skills, highlighting that education is a key tool for rebuilding lives and communities.
“As part of our unwavering dedication to creating long-term solutions and opportunities for displaced persons through access to quality education, the Commission will select 10 students from all the IDP camps in the FCT and sponsor their education up to the university level,” he stated.
“The Commission has also profiled 40 households for relocation to Keffi, located 60 kilometers from Abuja, and the process for relocation has already begun for those interested.
“We are focusing on building permanent structures in Keffi, including classrooms, healthcare centers, skill acquisition centers, and a police station, to provide long-term support,” he added.
The computer center inaugurated by the Commissioner was established by the Brandlife Vision Foundation, an NGO, and supported by the NCFRMI.
Ahmed expressed his appreciation for the foundation’s leader, Hajia Binta Sidi, for her tireless efforts in providing computer education to children in the camp and ensuring they were not left behind in literacy.
In her remarks, Binta Sidi explained that the foundation’s focus is on providing support to 1,000 IDP children across various camps, particularly those from less privileged backgrounds.
She revealed that the foundation had provided 13 computer systems and furniture for the children, with additional support from the Commission in the form of solar energy and other resources.
