Women in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in Benue were delivered of 200 babies in 2022.
The Executive Secretary of Benue Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Dr Emmanuel Shior, made the declaration on Wednesday in Makurdi during the agency’s monthly distribution of relief materials to the IDPs.
“We have more than 200 births known to the agency in 2022,’’ he said.

Shior said the 200 babies were the ones whose births were registered officially and attributed the figure to the fact that most of the internally displaced persons stayed with their partners in the camps.
He added that more than two million people were staying in various IDP camps in the state.
