Muhammed-Soso, who heads the ministry’s Special Duties Department, was represented by Funke Olatunji.
She said during a sensitisation on the survey, that the victims had suffered enough and required life-changing support.
“It is a fact that insecurity in Nigeria has continued to restrict access to basic services and both affected people and host communities require emergency support and other necessary humanitarian assistance.
“To this end, the ministry whose mandate is to provide assistance for vulnerable groups in Nigeria has realised the enormous challenges faced by the victims of terrorism across Nigeria and has commenced a pilot phase of sensitisation and survey of the victims,” she said.
