The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged the Federal Government, individuals and groups to help the Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, regarding this mandate.
This was contained in an appeal made by the MURIC Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, on Thursday.
According to Ishaq,Peace-making is cheaper than fighting wars while meaningful development and growth can only occur in a peaceful environment. The federal government should therefore go all out in ensuring that its de-radicalising process is accompanied by stomach infrastructure and economic resettlement.
“Boko Haram insurgents and ISWAP fighters, who are surrendering, should be resettled and trained in vocations that can enable them to cater for themselves and their families in future.
Quick and meaningful resettlement will encourage the remaining insurgents and fighters to embrace peace,” Akintola said.
He also urged the civilians in Borno to accommodate and support the integration of the remorseful insurgents and fighters.
