THE federal government has pledged that it would soon end statelessness in the country, saying it had already initiated plans aimed at permanently ending the development.
The government’s pledge to end the development came on the heels of a one-day sensitisation workshop on the national action plan to end statelessness in Nigeria, attended by its representatives, those of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees as well as relevant stakeholders in the country.
The Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Alhaji Bashir Alkali, who stated this through his representative at the occasion and Director of Humanitarian in the ministry, Alhaji Ali Grema, said the government had already initiated plans to end statelessness in Nigeria by giving identities to Nigerians in different parts of the country.
