The Taraba State Government has promised to assist refugees fleeing the war in the Republic of Cameroon with shelter and relief materials.

The State Governor, Darius Ishaku's position is a result of the influx of many asylum seekers into Nigeria’s border towns in Sardauna and four Local Government Areas of Taraba State. 

He appealed to the host communities to accommodate the refuge seekers as same gesture was extended to Taraba in 2017 when Cameroon took them after being displaced by the Mambilla crisis.
