Call to Provide Housing for the Displaced

A Geneva-based housing rights group, Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE), has urged Nigerian authorities to provide ‘adequate emergency shelter’ for thousands of people displaced by deadly violence in the central city of Jos.

"Those displaced as a result of the recent violence... must be provided with adequate emergency shelter while efforts begin to provide a permanent solution to their housing problems," says COHRE.
In a press statement, COHRE, “…calls on the government "to ensure safe and dignified conditions for people to return to their homes and land, and also begin a process for immediate compensation for those who lost homes and property".
