US assistant secretary for African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, last Wednesday said about 100,000 Nigerians are currently living outside Nigeria as refugees in neighbouring countries.

Thomas-Greenfield, who announced this to journalists from across Africa in a tele-press conference, said Boko Haram attacks had forced more than 1million Nigerians out of their homes.

According to her, these people have serious concerns that need to be addressed.

“More than a million Nigerians have been forced from their homes. Close to 100,000 Nigerians are living outside of Nigeria as refugees,” she said.

“Thousands of families, ordinary people, have been impacted by Boko Haram, and these people have serious concerns that urgently need to be addressed.”

“We are also work with the governments to ensure that those who have been victims of Boko Haram receive the assistance that they require to rebuild their lives,” she said.
