[ 29th April 2021, North east Nigeria  ] The IDPs currently displaced across north east Nigeria were employed in a variety of different sectors prior to their displacement. Thirty three per cent of surveyed households stated that they were farmers, and 26 per cent of respondents said that they were active in agro pastoralism. Twenty three per cent of the IDPs earned a living through petty trading while 5 per cent were pastoralists prior to their displacement. Six per cent of IDPs were daily labourers and 3 per cent were fishermen.
[ 27th May 2021, Nigeria ]  To improve quality of care across Nigeria, WHO has been coaching healthcare workers in the labor room, wards and antenatal areas on how to beef up their practices to help reduce maternal and child mortality. So far, WHO has trained over 500 workers in 19 health across FCT, Abuja and Kebbi state in Northwest Nigeria, a region with one of the highest rates of newborn mortality in Nigeria. Maternal, newborn and child health quality of care is also being implemented across 10 other states in Nigeria with support from other partners.
[ 11th June 2021, Adamawa State ] A recent dispute between IDPs at the Daware informal settlement has led to the repossession of farmland from some IDP farmers. Daware informal camp is an estimated 20km outside of Yola Town, and over 5,000 IDPs reside there. The IDPs are mostly from Gwoza in Borno State and have been living peacefully and sharing assets with their hosts until a recent disagreement broke out between IDP farmers and the community leaders regarding the sharing of farm products. OCHA brought this concern to SEMA for a quick resolution and the agency is now engaging the community and IDP leaders to resolve matter. OCHA is closely monitoring the situation as it has a significant impact on the IDPs' food security at the camp.
[ 29th April 2021, North east Nigeria  ] Ninety one per cent of the heads of the surveyed households in north east Nigeria stated that they owned the house in which they resided before they were displaced. Five per cent of respondents lived in a house that was owned by a relative or a family member and four per cent of the respondents said that they were tenants.
[ 11th June 2021, Adamawa State ] Education Needs: There is need to increase girls' school enrollment, retention and graduation in Guyuk and Hong LGAs, according to the national NGO Hope and Rural Aid Foundation  ( HARAF ) .
[ 27th May 2021, Nigeria ]  Nigeria is the country with second highest death of newborns in the world, next to India, with 270,000 deaths in 2019. Globally 2.4 million children died in the first month of life in 2019. There are approximately 6 700 newborn deaths every day, amounting to 47% of all child deaths under the age of 5 years, up from 40% in 1990.
[ 1st June 2021, Nigeria ] Some participants reported feeling that men and women with disabilities had differing experiences of the pandemic due to their gender, while others felt experiences were similar for everyone. Some stated there was no difference in how men and women with disabilities had experienced the crisis, but then went on to discuss how experience may have differed depending on gender.
[ 28th June  12th July 2021, Borno state ] COVID 19: Epidemiological summary: No new case confirmed for the reported period • Total number of confirmed cases as at end of epi week 26/27 stands at 1,344 • No active case receiving care. • No patient was discharged for the period of reporting. • Cumulative number discharged so far – 1,307 • No death recorded in the reporting period. • Total associated deaths – 38  ( 26 in Isolation facilities and 12 community death ) . Distribution of confirmed cases by LGA   256 from Jere, 946 from MMC, 16 from Gwoza, 3 from Damboa, 13 from Bayo, 12 from Biu, 1 from Gubio, 1 from Munguno, 1 from Kaga, 1 from Mobbar, 73 from Konduga, 2 from Nganzai, 2 from Shani, 7 from Hawul and 6 from Ngala LGAs.
[ 29th April 2021, North east Nigeria  ] It is important to note that in 97 per cent of the surveys, the respondents stated that the access to their livelihood activities was disrupted because of the displacement. Only 3 per cent of the heads of IDP households indicated that they could continue their livelihood activity despite their forced displacement.
[ 29th April 2021, North east Nigeria  ] IOM's DTM estimates that 79 per cent of the IDPs in north east Nigeria were displaced before the year 2017. This signifies that the great majority of IDPs in the BAY States do not find themselves in an emergency situation but are trapped in a situation of protracted displacement, characterized by a long period of exile and great uncertainty about their future. Thirteen per cent of the IDP households reported to have left their locations of origin in the year 2017, while 5 per cent were displaced in the year 2018. Three per cent of IDP households were displaced during the years 2019 and 2020, demonstrating that displacement is continuing and that violence is unabated.
[ 29th April 2021, North east Nigeria ]  Fifty per cent of IDP households in the BAY States had not been displaced before and are currently displaced for the first time. Knowing that the great majority of IDPs was displaced before 2017, it can be concluded that many households were residing in the location where the assessment took place for several years. Thirty five per cent of the respondents reported that they have been displaced twice, while 12 per cent stated to have been displaced three times. Three per cent of the IDP households in north east Nigeria have been displaced four times.
[ 29th April 2021, North east Nigeria  ] According to the survey among displaced households in north east Nigeria, the majority of IDPs expressed their intention to return to their locations of origin. For IDPs living in camps/camp like settings, this number was higher  ( 74% )  compared to IDPs residing among host communities  ( 65% ) . Remarkably, 34 per cent of IDPs that are displaced among the local host communities do not have the intention of leaving their displacement location in the upcoming months while only 17 per cent of IDPs living in camps/camp like settings have the intention of staying in the location where they are currently displaced. Five per cent of IDPs living in camps/camp like settings stated that they intend to move to a different location. They plan to leave the locality where they are currently residing but do not intend to return home. For IDPs residing in host communities, this is only 1 per cent.
[ 29th April 2021, North east Nigeria  ] The intentions of IDPs to return to their locations of origin were motivated by a variety of different reasons. Sixty two per cent of the respondents who intended to return home in the foreseeable future cited the improvement of the security situation in their location of origin as the main factor motivating their return intention. Eighteen per cent of respondents wished to join family members in their area of origin, while 11 per cent cited the lack of humanitarian assistance in the location where they are currently residing as the reason why they intended to return home. The remaining 9 per cent of respondents reported the absence of livelihood opportunities in their location of displacement as the main reason motivating their return intention.
[ 28th June  12th July 2021, Borno state ] Total number of contacts line listed for follow up – 6,508 • Total initial Samples tested so far in UMTH laboratory stands at 20,684 • Cumulative positivity rate 7% • Cumulative samples collected for week 26/27 was 48. • EOC meets Monday and Friday to review the activities of all the pillars under the leadership of the IM.
[ 31st Mar, 2021, North East Nigeria ]  Despite the recent slight increase in both crude oil production and international prices, most macroeconomic indicators remain poor. The National Bureau of Statistics  ( NBS )  indicates the annual inflation rate rose from 16.46 percent in January to 17.33 percent in February. Similarly, the NGN depreciated to 484 NGN/USD on the parallel market in late March, while the official exchange rate remains relatively stable at 380 NGN/USD. Overall, this is driving increases in staple food prices, lower household purchasing power, and reduced food access. Moreover, the unemployment rate increase by over five percent from Quarter two to four in 2020, likely decreasing remittances for some poor households.
[ 1st June 2021, Nigeria ] In the Nigerian context men are regarded as the head of the family and responsible for financial security. As the pandemic and lockdown had an impact on work  ( as described in the economic impact section above ) , it is argued that men were affected worse than women. Women are generally regarded as having a role of looking after children. The pandemic made this task harder, and this had an impact on women with disabilities in particular
[ 1st June 2021, Nigeria ] During the lockdown everyone was at home more, and one participant felt that this resulted in increased tension in the home, as the dynamic of child care changed. The impact of the pandemic on access to health services may have had a more significant impact on women with disabilities than men. This may be especially the case for women with disabilities who are pregnant and require medical attention.
[ 1st June 2021, Nigeria ] Impacting on health services, COVID 19 had a significant impact on education. One participant felt that women and girls were particularly affected, with an increased likelihood of pregnancy during lockdown, which would have a negative impact on their studies.
[ 7   13 June 2021, Adamawa and Borno states ] ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: voluntary relocation  ( 1,335 individuals or 59% ) , improved security  ( 527 individuals or 23% ) , poor living conditions  ( 257 individuals or 11% ) , fear of attack  ( 100 individuals or 4% ) , military operations  ( 25 individuals or 1% )  and conflict/attack  ( 22 individuals or 1% ) .
[ 9th Jun 2021, Nigeria ]  Executive Director, CISLAC, Anwual Ibrahim Rafsanjani, He said: “The current situation of Nigeria regarding Illicit Financial Flows  ( IFFs )  and Money Laundering  ( ML )  is extremely challenging. Putting things into perspective, Nigeria loses about $15bn to $18bn annually to Illicit Financial outflows, largely generated by tax evasion but fueled also by grand corruption, organized crime activities and many other licit and illicit practices.
[ 7th   13th Aug 2021, North East, Nigeria ]  During the period 07   13 August 2021, 215 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno State. Of the total movements recorded, 120 were incoming from Cameroon's Far North Region and 4 incoming movement from N'djamena in Chad, while 91 were outgoing from Borno State to Cameroon‘s Far North Region.
[ 24th May 2021, Taraba State ]  Surging communal violence between ethnic and religious groups, and long standing conflicts between farming communities and nomadic herders are prevalent across north east Nigeria. These conflicts are predominantly centered on disputes over land and cause great insecurity and widespread displacement across the region.
[ 21st July 2021, Nigeria ]  Within the same period, more than 1.8 million Nigerians were displaced in Adamawa, Yobe and Borno, with Borno mostly bearing the brunt of the war. The war led to the destruction of many schools and even forced them to close.
[ 19th May 2021, Nigeria ] “Nigeria's oil and gas construction projects have a combined value of $139.6 billion, of which $88.5 billion relates to projects in the pre execution stages. If all projects do proceed as planned and spending is evenly distributed over the construction phase, annual spending for 2021 is expected to be $8.2 billion and could reach $25 billion in 2023.'
[ 19th May 2021, Abuja, Nigeria  ]  Kaduna state's governor, Nasir el Rufai, said at a meeting to discuss appropriate pricing for the petrol in Nigeria that an estimated 70 billion 210 billion naira  ( $170.6 $512 million )  was spent every month to keep petrol at 162 naira per litre. El Rufai called the situation “unsustainable' in a statement issued by the Nigeria's Governors' Forum late on Wednesday.
[  30th Apr, 2021, North East, Nigeria ]  Despite the end of the recession in the last quarter of 2020, macroeconomic conditions remain poor primarily due to low foreign reserves and government revenue from crude oil. The annual inflation rate increased for the 19th straight month to 18.17 percent in March  ( Figure 1 ) , with monthly food inflation hitting nearly 16 year peak at 22.95 percent. The Naira continues to depreciate relative to other foreign currencies. The Naira depreciated by about 17 and 28 percent on the formal and parallel market, respectively, between March 2020 and March 2021.
[  30th Apr, 2021, North East, Nigeria ]  Across most of the Northeast, income opportunities are expected to be limited with peak staple food prices from June to September; as a result, many households will be unable to meet their food needs and will face Crisis  ( IPC Phase 3 ) . Households in inaccessible areas, mainly in parts of Borno State who had limited or no harvests and restricted access to markets, livelihood activities, and assistance, are facing large food consumption gaps with elevated levels of acute malnutrition. These households will likely resort to wild food consumption, limited trade by barter, and some will resort to begging to access food. Consequently, Emergency  ( IPC Phase 4 )  outcomes are expected to persist.
[  30th Apr, 2021, North East, Nigeria ]  Most households in Dikwa have been displaced multiple times in recent months and are likely to face constraints engaging in their typical livelihood activities. Moreover, humanitarian access is expected to be constrained for the coming months. Due to both continued significant constraints to food and income access, especially due to atypically high food prices and humanitarian assistance delivery, Emergency  ( IPC Phase 4 )  outcomes are expected to emerge in Dikwa during the lean season. A risk of Famine persists where Famine  ( IPC Phase 5 )  would occur in a worst case scenario where households are cut off from humanitarian assistance and typical food and income sources for a prolonged period of time.
[ 28th June  12th July 2021, Borno state ] Laboratory: • Cumulative Positivity rate is 7%. • Test per million of Population: 2,913 Case per million Population: 203 • Total COVID 19 test conducted 20,684 by Borno State
[ 20th May 2021, Abuja, Nigeria  ]  In March, NNPC said it is spending between 100 billion 120 billion naira a month on petrol subsidies for consumers, a burden that is becoming untenable. Nigeria, Africa's top oil exporter, has made producing its own fuel a priority for years but efforts to revamp its refineries have failed, leaving it almost entirely reliant on imports.  ( $1 = 410.3000 naira )
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] KIs unanimously reported that displaced households residing in camps and informal sites have worse access to water than members of the host community, who typically have more substantial financial resources to cope with limited access. Multiple KIs reported that women and children, particularly those that are displaced, face the most significant barriers to accessing water. Men are reportedly able to leverage physical strength and social influence to increase access to water at crowded water points, some of which have reportedly occasionally become unsafe due to violence.
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] Vulnerable groups such as disabled or elderly IDPs who are physically unable to travel longer distances or wait in long queues are also reported to face significant barriers to water access, some of whom KIs reported have resorted to begging as a coping strategy. Women are reportedly most in need of WASH NFIs  ( see below ) , driven in part by poor financial access to markets due to restricted access to available livelihoods such as menial labor opportunities. KIs reported that many women are coping with the decreased availability of female hygiene products by using cloth, causing unsanitary conditions.
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] KIs unanimously reported a widespread scarcity of basic WASH NFIs, including soap, detergent, water storage containers, female hygiene products, and chlorine tablets, which were previously provided by humanitarian NGOs. A limited quantity of soap was reportedly available in markets and prices have increased substantially, with one KI reporting an increase from 80 to 150 NGN per bar at one location. Poor access to WASH NFIs and rapidly worsening conditions of public sanitation facilities  ( see below )  are driving deteriorating hygiene conditions, increasing the risk of disease.
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] According to KIs, public latrines are full or nearly full in many areas, particularly camps, which depend on INGO support for desludging. Humanitarian actors reported that desludging of facilities has occured since the attacks, however KIs reported uncertainty as to whether desludging would occur consistently in the coming weeks. Multiple KIs reported evidence of open defecation in IDP camps, driven in part by the unsanitary conditions of latrines. KIs reported they expect open defecation in camps to increase in the coming weeks as latrines fill and become unusable, increasing the risk of disease for a population with highly limited access to healthcare. Further, KIs reported that people in camps will likely increasingly travel into the bush to defecate, which poses a protection concern, especially for women, in the current security context.
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] According to KIs and partners, assistance provision is limited in both coverage and depth due to continued access constraints. Further, KIs and CH reported populations continue to face severe needs across many sectors. Dikwa town is still largely inaccessible to INGOs, and while humanitarian actors are moving goods along roads through vendors, assistance is directly provided by local community based volunteers with limited technical capacity. In addition, KIs report that the discovery of an unexploded ordnances  ( UXO )  near a humanitarian program sites will further delay the full resumption of activities. The large scale resumption of operations is reportedly pending a security assessment and United Nations Humanitarian Air Serice  ( UNHAS )  test flight.
[  30th Apr, 2021, North East, Nigeria ]  Over the last two to three months, conflict in the Northeast has increased, resulting in large scale displacement, significant disruption to livelihoods, and declines in humanitarian access. According to REACH, nearly 28,000 individuals were displaced from Dikwa following the attack in early March 2021, although by April, most have returned to Dikwa town. Due to the security risks, there has been limited resumption to humanitarian assistance, and households are slowly rebuilding their livelihoods. In Borno and Adamawa States, IOM reported nearly 4,800 movements in the first week of April 2021, comprising 2,533 arrivals and 2,264 departures, with about 40 percent highlighted conflict as the reason for movement. This is likely constraining livelihood activities in conflict prone areas.
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] KIs reported that a single stream serves as the only source of drinking water along the route from Dikwa to Ajiri. While travel by foot to Ajiri has largely stopped for now, a resumption in fighting would likely trigger another wave of large scale displacement, posing a significant risk for those traveling. While some individuals were reportedly able to make the journey from Dikwa to Ajiri by foot without water; children were often reportedly drinking dirty surface water, which KIs reported to have caused severe sickness.
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] In camps, however, several generator powered boreholes and hand pumps are reportedly still non operational, requiring fuel, maintenance, or parts. IDPs in camps have limited individual or communal economic capacity to pay for fuel or maintenance. KIs reported that IDP households are traveling long distances to fetch water at various water points in town, waiting in queues for more than one hour, or spending already limited resources to purchase water at private vendors. The additional time and resources spent collecting water reduce time household members have to engage in other essential tasks, including livelihood activities.
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] Waves of displacement out of Dikwa town immediately followed the initial attacks in early March; IOM reported that approximately 28,000 individuals initially fled Dikwa town to Ajiri due to the fighting, the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Dikwa town, and the fear of future attacks. More than 5 weeks after the initial displacement, KIs reported that the majority of those who initially left Dikwa town for Ajiri and Maiduguri have since returned, and the security situation is perceived to have improved in the town. Regular vehicle travel between Dikwa and Maiduguri has largely resumed and large scale displacement by foot out of Dikwa is no longer ongoing. However, KIs reported ongoing small scale migration driven by poor living conditions and limited access to livelihoods in Dikwa town.
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] Approximately 445 shelters were damaged or destroyed across two camps, according to an IOM report. KIs reported that households whose shelters were damaged are sleeping in overcrowded public buildings, primarily schools, out in the open, or are being hosted by host community members. While shelter partners have proposed the construction of 500 new emergency shelters and the repair of 552 damaged shelters, KIs report that full scale reconstruction and repair will be limited while access for humanitarian actors is still restricted due to the need for ground level oversight and technical expertise
[ 4th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] According to the CH, Dikwa LGA is classified as facing Crisis  ( Phase 3 )  acute food insecurity. Humanitarian food assistance is a major factor for mitigating severe food security outcomes in Dikwa town. Consequently, the disruption of food assistance following the attacks in March was considered a substantial driver of acute food insecurity. However, in the week of March 29, general food distributions reportedly resumed in Dikwa town. As of April 4, roughly 61,561 people had reportedly received one month rations, including sorghum, cowpeas, and cooking oil.
[ 4th 5th March 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] The Second Wave  ( March 4 5 )  : Resource stress driven movement in the days following initial attacks due to deteriorating conditions, including limited availability of water, rapidly decreasing food stocks, and no medical support. Those with direct or financial access to a vehicle reportedly travelled by car or truck, while others to Ajiri by foot.
[ 1st June 2021, Nigeria ] Lockdown and the subsequent financial problems meant many people could not provide care for people that they usually look after, causing anguish. One participant expressed the stress they were put under as a result of not being able to perform the duties expected of them with regards to looking after their father. The lockdown also caused stress by preventing usual social events from taking place, which had an impact on how people relaxed.
[  30th Apr, 2021, North East, Nigeria ]  In mid April, multiple attacks occurred on civilians and humanitarian actors and their facilities in Damasak, Mobbar LGA of Borno state. These attacks continue in some areas where populations have already been displaced once. Displaced populations typically move to neighboring areas where some food assistance can be accessed from host communities or humanitarian actors or to city centers. According to REACH, between 25,000 to 40,000 individuals were displaced from Mobbar and moved towards Geidam LGA in Yobe state.
[  30th Apr, 2021, North East, Nigeria ]  Some other populations relocated to Maiduguri, and few others crossed over to Niger republic. Additionally, all humanitarian services were suspended in Damasak on April 10 following attacks. Although, on April 23, an attack in Geidam has led to further displacement and multiple displacements for many populations. Most of the displaced populations have fled to Damaturu, Yunusari, Yusufari, and Gashua LGAs. Displaced households rely on community support while the State emergency management agency starts planning for assistance delivery.
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] From June to August, acute food insecurity is forecasted to increase by 11%, with 59% of the population  ( 70,706 ind. )  in Dikwa LGA expected to experience Crisis or worse outcomes, which is 17% higher than the October 2020 projection for June to August  ( 42% in P3+ ) . Further, 21%  ( 25,450 ind. )  of the population is expected to experience Emergency  ( Phase 4 )  acute food insecurity. High levels of food insecurity are likely driven by seasonal depletion of food sources in Dikwa town and surrounding areas, reliance on negative coping strategies such as asset liquidation, and increased levels of morbidity due to poor WASH conditions. The combination of these factors are also likely to drive area level increases in malnutrition.
[ 1st March 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] According to the CH, roughly 65% of households received food assistance and 24% of the households received livelihood assistance in February 2021. The escalation of insecurity and evacuation of humanitarian actors, suspended life saving assistance and consequently drove increases in acute food insecurity in Dikwa. Further, financial access to food was limited by high prices of staple crops and disruption to WASH services, notably clean access to water, resulted in poor food utilization, further driving high levels of food insecurity.
[ 8th April 2021,Northeast Nigeria ]  While volunteers have largely been able to manage basic maintenance of WASH infrastructure, multiple community WASH volunteers reported that they lack the necessary technical skills needed for more complex repairs. The majority of WASH staff with technical training needed for such repairs are reportedly personnel who evacuated Dikwa following the attacks. Limited technical knowledge on the ground and the lack of necessary hardware means mitigation measures for future infrastructure wear are limited. Any further deterioration of WASH infrastructure will likely pose a serious problem to already limited water and hygiene availability given the absence of humanitarian technical assistance.
[ 1st Aug 2021, North east Nigeria ] Neonatal death: One  ( 1 )  neonatal deaths was reported through EWARS from Njimtilo health Clinic in Konduga. Maternal death: One  ( 1 )  maternal death was reported through EWARS from Maryam Abacha Women and Children's Hospital in Jere.

[ 26th March 2021, Nigeria ] Stakeholders need to address storage issues and provide adequate road networks from the major farms to the markets and cities, he adds.
[ 1st June 2021, Nigeria ] With whatever amount remained, recipients struggled to buy the food they needed for the month. While they were satisfied with the quality of goods available at the market, they felt like the prices were too high relative to the amount of cash available to them for the month.
[ 4th Jun 2021, Adamawa State ]  Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Needs: There is a need to improve access to basic household NFI kits in communities of Michika and Askira Uba. • IOM raised the need for evacuation of filled latrines at Malkohi village and Malkohi camp. • Additional water sources are needed at Salama House IDP camp.
[ 26th March 2021, Nigeria ] Overall annual consumer price inflation climbed to 17.3% in February, from 16.5% in January, the highest level in four years. That was driven by food inflation, which at 21.8% in February was at its highest for more than a decade.
[ 12th Aug 2021, Nigeria ]  Returnees Voluntary, safe and dignified return is a priority for UNHCR, the government and the humanitarian community.
