President Muhammadu Buhari has warned that the two million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in refugee camps across the country must be properly resettled if the country was to avert possible social discontent.
The President gave the warning when he met with the world leader of Tijjaniyya Islamic Movement, Sheikh Sharif Mohammed Kabir Ibn Mohammad, at the State House, Abuja on Tuesday.
A statement by Malam Garba Shehu, the Presidents Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, stated that Buhari also expressed regret over the destruction of public institutions in the North East by Boko Haram insurgents.
He said government is faced with the problem of rebuilding schools, health centres and whole towns.
We must renovate or rebuild schools and recruit teachers, otherwise, they will become tomorrows Boko Haram.
President Buhari reiterated the importance of justice in the affairs of governance, emphasising that men and women in authority must show kindness and justice to all the people under their care.
He commended the religious group for the prayers it rendered for three days in Yola, Adamawa State, for the recovery of the economy and forpeace in the country.
Buhari observed that the problem of oil production in the country and in global markets had made agriculture imperative for Nigerians.
We are learning the hard way. The mistake we made was to abandon agriculture. We came at a time of difficulty which the country never experienced since the civil war, he said.
In his remarks, Sheikh Sharif Mohammad commended President Buharis sense of justice and concern for the people of Nigeria.
He assured the President that the Tijjaniyya movement was in support of the administration and would continue to pray for its success.
