The Director General, Bureau of International Cooperation and Development, Dr Aondoaseer Leo Viashima, also noted that Benue State has registered 38 new NGOs through the Bureau of International Cooperation and Development (BICD), which are working in line with Governor Hyacinth Alia’s seven points agenda. The BICD Director General further stated that it is within the rights of Internally Displaced Persons to opt to voluntarily return to their ancestral homes without government compelling them to do so. “In the circumstance, Benue State won’t return one IDP to his or her ancestral home until the mandatory National IDP Policy is signed into law”, Viashima stated. He thanked members of the chapel for the visit and accurate reportage of events in the state, especially the Bureau of International Cooperation and Development. He called on the Director General to keep his doors open for scrutiny and to avail journalists the right to access correct information for members of the public.
