She said: \u201cAs a nation, we have opened our hearts and borders, offering international protection to those in dire need.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, the Federal Government has made pledges: to include refugees, IDPs, returnees and their host communities in national development plans, to strengthen its protection capacity, to ensure the availability and access to durable solutions for refugees and IDPs and to continue playing active and constructive roles in regional and sub-regional efforts to address the root causes of displacement.<\/p>\n
