In Nigeria, over 3 million people have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict and violence. These internally displaced persons (IDPs) live in temporary camps, often under dire conditions, with limited access to necessities and opportunities. It’s time to restore their dignity and secure a safer future for them. We urge the Nigerian government to take immediate and effective action to facilitate the safe return of IDPs to their homes and vocations. This includes ensuring adequate security, rebuilding destroyed communities, and providing necessary resources and support to help them rebuild their lives.
- Human Rights: Every person has the right to a safe and secure home. Displacement strips individuals of their basic rights and places them in vulnerable situations.
- Community Stability: Reintegrating IDPs into their communities promotes social cohesion and stability, reducing the risk of further conflicts.
- Economic Recovery: Restoring IDPs to their homes and livelihoods stimulates local economies and fosters sustainable development.
Donate: Your contributions can provide immediate relief and long-term support for displaced families.

Subject: Urgent Action Required - Condemnation and Response to Terrorist Attacks on Christians in Nigeria
Dear Sirs,
I am writing to bring to your urgent attention the recent heinous terrorist attack in Nigeria, where three Christians were brutally executed after being taken off a bus by terrorists from ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province) who continue to move around unfettered and wreck destruction on lives.
This atrocity has yet again left the Christian community in shock and fear, but equally worrying is that there has been a ‘very loud silence’ from both the Nigerian and British governments who both proffer the tenets of Human Rights (the right to life), Freedom of religion or belief. Who both espouse the rule of law, territorial integrity but seem to allow impunity for these attacks of innocent christians and citizens murdered in cold blood.
We urgently request the following actions:
This killing comes just a few days after the terrorist group issued a ‘leave or die’ notice to communities in the Kukawa LGA in Borno State after killing 15 fishermen in the region. This adds to the urgency of a coordinated and effective response.
We understand that Parliament is in recess due to the upcoming elections, but the functioning of the government must and does continue, especially in response to democracy-threatening atrocities like these.
We await your prompt response and concrete actions to address this grave situation.
Yours sincerely,
Ayo Adedoyin, CEO PSJUK and other concerned Nigerians and friends of Nigeria who have undersigned
