Buduburam refugees were given money in 2012 to relocate – Refugees Board

Date:

The Ghana Refugees Board says it gave registered Liberian refugees at the Buduburam refugees’ camp in the Central Region $400 each to enable them to relocate from the camp as far back as 2012.

The Executive Secretary of the board, Tetteh Padi said this in a Citi News interview following the decision by the government of Ghana to demolish the camp.

Mr. Tetteh Padi says there are currently only 400 registered refugees who would be assisted to leave the camp due to the impending demolition.

“We have only a little over 400 recognized refugees who are Liberians in the Budumburam camp. We are responsible for these, and so we are making arrangements to relocate them to some of our refugee camps. We will assist them as long as they opt to be relocated.”
