[ 6th Sep 2021, Bama ]  Recent closure and relocation of IDPs from the Farm Center camp in Maiduguri, the state capital, is further aggravating the influx of populations into the Bama GSSS camp where resources and facilities have been stretched beyond capacity.
[ 26th July 2021, Ondo State, Nigeria ]  Ondo State recorded its first confirmed case of COVID 19 on 3rd April 2020. Since then, the state has documented a total of 3500 confirmed cases including 65 deaths as of 19 July 2021 in two waves of the pandemic.
[ 12   18 July 2021, Nigeria ] Hong: 2,900 arrivals and 36 departures were recorded in Hong LGA of Adamawa State. The arrivals included 1,858 individuals from within Hong LGA in Adamawa State and 1,042 individuals from Gombi LGA in Adamawa State. All individuals who departed had Girei LGA in Adamawa State as their intended destination. Ninety nine per cent of the movements recorded were a result of the improved security situation in areas of origin and 1 per cent of the movements recorded were due to poor living conditions.
[ 3rd Aug 2021, Yobe State ]  The Yobe State Ministry of Health  ( SMoH )  during the week provided updates on the spread of AWD/cholera, indicating a total of 50 cases across Bursari, Jakusko and Damaturu LGAs, including eight fatalities. Some 20 of the cases had been reported in Gadine community of Bursari LGA in April. As of end of the week, five samples tested positive for cholera based on laboratory tests.
[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Changes in precipitation patterns will impact river flow, irrigation, water management and flooding. This can be seen through both the supply as well as demand. Increases in heavy rainfall and flooding come with equally greater periods of enhanced drought, which are exacerbated by higher temperatures, and thus stronger evapotranspiration. Projected climatechange trends for Nigeria are therefore expected to enhance the contrast between wet and dry and thus might change the dynamics around the balance between availability and use of water. Higher intensity rain and enhanced droughts pose significant challenges to water supply infrastructure and water quality.
[ 9th   15th Aug 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 21,164.

[ 15th Jan   15th Feb 2020, Nigeria ]  DTM Round 31 assessments were carried out from 15 January to 15 February 2020 in 106 LGAs  ( no change from the last round of assessment )  in 790 wards  ( no change )  in the conflict affected northeastern Nigerian states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe. As per the assessments, 2,046,604 individuals or 420,072 households were recorded as displaced, an increase of 7,512 persons against the last assessment conducted in December 2019 when 2,039,092 internally displaced persons  ( IDPs )  were identified.
[ 3rd Aug 2021, Yobe State ]  Partners are working with the state government on the declaration of an outbreak to enable rapid scale up of response across the board. WASH and health partners continue to intensify support including chlorination and trucking of potable water, disinfection of water channels, risk awareness messaging, and deployment of rapid response teams  ( RRTs )  in affected and vulnerable locations for active case search and isolation/treatment of suspected cases.
[ 31st Jul 2021, Nigeria ]  Below chart 7.2 indicates that 89 of the total vulnerable groups indicates that domestic and community violence, 6 said family separation is the most problem affecting the community, 43 indicates that lack of livelihood opportunities, 2 persons said problems related to food and water as a basic needs are the problems affecting the community, 16 indicates that problems related to health as the basic services are the problems, 2 people said security problems are the main problems affecting the community while 7 people said shelter problems are the most affecting the community.
[ 3rd Aug 2021, Yobe State ]  COVID 19 testing services have been stalled in Yobe State for two months due to shortages of reagents at the state molecular laboratory. Samples collected from suspected cases in Yobe State are sent to the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control  ( NCDC )  national reference laboratory in Abuja, the country's capital, and it is taking several weeks to receive results. Out of 1,900 samples sent to Abuja in the last two months, only about 900 results have been received, raising concerns of possible cases going unidentified and spreading across communities. This is coming at a time that the country is recording a surge of new cases, with health authorities confirming a possible third wave of the pandemic. Health partners are working with SMoH to find a solution to the challenge. Reagents are usually supplied by the NCDC to molecular laboratories across the country.
[ 12th July 2021, Nigeria ]  With the nation's current population of over 195.9 million, 45 per cent of which are below 15 years, there is a huge demand for learning opportunities, translating into increased enrolment. This has created challenges in ensuring quality education since resources are spread more thinly, resulting in more than 100 pupils for one teacher as against the UNESCO benchmark of 35 students per teacher and culminating in students learning under trees for lack of classrooms.
[ 28th Jun  4th July 2021, Nigeria ]  In Week 26, the number of new confirmed COVID 19 cases increased to 392 from 209 reported in week 25. These were reported in 12 states and FCT  ( Tables 1 & 2 ) . • In Week 26, the number of discharged cases increased to 433 from 392 in week 25. These were reported in 6 states and FCT  ( Tables 1 & 3 ) . • There were 2 deaths reported in the last one week  ( Tables 1 & 4 ) . • Cumulatively, since the outbreak began in Week 9, 2020 there have been 167,859 cases and 2,121 deaths reported with a case fatality rate  ( CFR )  of 1.3%  ( Tables 1 & 4 ) .
[ 13th July 2021, Nigeria ] Babatunde Ojei, Country Director of the IRC in Nigeria, said: “Before the COVID 19 pandemic, there were 129 million children out of school in countries affected by crisis and conflict, making up over half of the world's out of school population. Initiatives across the humanitarian sector have thus far failed to provide the most vulnerable children with sustainable access to learning opportunities and evidence shows that once a child's education is interrupted, they are less likely to return, even if their formal schools resume.
[ 15th Jan   15th Feb 2020, Nigeria ]  The estimated number of IDPs in conflict affected north eastern states Nigerian states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe was 2,046,604 or 420,072 households. The number represents an increase of 7,512 persons as against the last assessment conducted in December 2019 when 2,039,092 IDPs were identified. Interestingly the number of households recorded in the last round was 420,994, which is higher than the total households identified in Round 31.
[ 15th Jan   15th Feb 2020, Nigeria ]  REASONS FOR DISPLACEMENT: Reasons for displacement remained unchanged since the last round of assessment conducted in December 2019. The ongoing conflict in north eastern Nigeria continued to be the main reason for displacement  ( 91%   no change since the last assessment ) , followed by communal clashes for 8 per cent of IDPs and natural disasters in 1 per cent of cases.
[  01  15 July 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] EDUCATION : 36% of camps have access to primary education on site while 64% access varies in distance or not accessible due to distance  ( figure 12 )  Over 60% of the camps need instructional and writing materials. 14% of camps do not have access to functional primary education or alternative form of basic education on site
[ 1st June 2021, Northeast Nigeria ] Nine Hundred and Eighty  ( 980 )  adolescent girls and young women were reached with SRH information. AHI Health Volunteers conduct daily sexual and reproductive health sessions on topics such as menstrual hygiene practices, life skills, prevention of GBV with women and girls in the LGAs. They also offer one on one counselling. Women and girls of reproductive age were supported with delivery kits as a strategy to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality in the LGAs.
[ 3rd Aug 2021, Yobe State ]  Nutrition: WFP is intensifying efforts to scale up nutrition services for children between 6 23 months and pregnant and lactating women  ( PLW )  through a blanket supplementary feeding programme  ( BSFP )  that is currently reaching some 44,620 children and 37,012 PLWs across 13 LGAs. In partnership with the Yobe State Primary Health Care Management Board  ( YSPHCMB ) , WFP is implementing a targeted supplementary feeding programme  ( TSFP )  for the treatment of moderate acute malnutrition  ( MAM )  cases among children 6 to 59 months across 11 primary health care  ( PHC )  facilities that cover 10 LGAs  ( Bade, Nguru, Damaturu, Machina, Karasuwa Yusufari, Yunusari, Gujba, Geidam, Jakusko ) .
[ 31st Jul 2021, Nigeria ]  The below chart 7.3 show that 62 of the total health workers, caregivers and community leaders indicates that domestic and community violence, 6 said family separation is the most problem affecting the community, 42 indicates that lack of livelihood opportunities, 11 indicates problems related to access to basic services – health as the problems affecting the community, 27 persons said problems related to food and water as a basic needs are the problems affecting the community, 1 person indicates that problems related to education as the basic services are the problems, 2 people said security problems are the main problems affecting the community while 23 people said shelter problems are the most affecting the community.
[  01  15 July 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] HEALTH: All the camps have established health structures, COVID 19 sensitization, response pathway and access to mobile clinics where vaccination activities and essential medicine distribution services are provided by health partners. 49% of camps reported cases of malaria. 60% of camps have access to a functional primary health care provider on site or nearby.
[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Oil and natural gas, and biomass constitute the main sources of energy for Nigeria; however, there are significant efforts to harness the high potentials available from solar and wind. Currently, the majority of rural communities remain off the grid, and approximately 60% of the population lack access to electricity. At the current rate of grid expansion, they will largely remain under served.83 Nigeria has the second largest proven crude oil reserves in Africa with oil fields located in the south, specifically in the Niger Delta and offshore in the Gulf of Guinea. Current exploration activities are mostly focused in the deep and ultra deep offshore, with some activities in the Chad Basin in the northeast of the country.
[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Nigeria's oil production is expected to double between 2018 and 2030, increasing to about 400 billion m3 per annum. Additionally, a significant amount of Nigeria's gross natural gas production is flared  ( burned off )  as some of Nigeria's oil fields lack the infrastructure needed to capture the natural gas produced with oil, known as associated gas.
[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Production of energy in Nigeria is characterized by inefficiency and inadequacy and the country has one of the least energy efficient economies in the world. Daily production remains at only 30% of installed megawatt capacity, leading to insufficient supply  ( resulting in load shedding, blackouts, and a reliance on private generators )  and leaving approximately 93 million people without access to electricity. Growing population and expanding economic challenges are making the sector less and less adequate. Low energy consumption is caused by the recurrent scarcity of petroleum products and the persistent electricity black outs, which have resulted in a high reliance on self, generated electricity
[ 3rd Aug 2021, Yobe State ]  Stakeholders, including protection partners, have raised concerns over the increasing cases of GBV against women and adolescent girls across locations in Yobe State. In the month of July alone, the GBV sub sector recorded and managed over 70 new cases compared to an average of 30 cases in previous months. The spike is linked to the limited access to critical support/services including food assistance and livelihood opportunities during the ongoing lean season, making women and girls vulnerable to negative coping mechanisms and sexual violations. Funding is urgently required to scale up critical services including awareness programmes, case management and support services for survivors. Protection partners are also intensifying engagement with the State Government on the ratification of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act and the Child Protection Law, which were passed by the State Legislature 18 months ago. Existing laws do not provide pathways for legal redress/access to justice and critical services for survivors of sexual violence.
[ 3rd Aug 2021, Yobe State ]  IRC distributed 230 cartons of ready to use therapeutic food  ( RUTF )  for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition  ( SAM )  cases in Gujba, Damaturu and Gulani LGAs. The agency also provided personal protection equipment  ( PPE )  for health workers across nutrition facilities in the two LGAs.
[  01  15 July 2021,Northeast Nigeria ] EARLY RECOVERY AND LIVELIHOOD  ( ERL ) : 27% of managed camps in LGAs affected by the displacements have access to cash for work activities within the onsite and nearby locations. 58% of the managed camps do not have access to a form of vocational training within the site or nearby. IDPs in all the camps have access to market on site or nearby.
[ 3rd Aug 2021, Yobe State ]  Water, Sanitation and Hygiene: Sector partners led by IRC completed the construction of two blocks of gender segregated latrine facilities and one block of bathing facilities in Buniyadi General Hospital.
[ 15th Jan   15th Feb 2020, Nigeria ]  SHELTER Camps and camp like settings: Camps and camp like settings presented a variety of shelter conditions, with the most common type of shelter being emergency shelters in 40 per cent  ( up from 38% in last round of assessments )  of sites and self made/makeshift shelters  ( 31% ) . Other types were host family houses  ( 12%   up 1% ) , government buildings  ( 7% ) , individual houses  ( 7% )  and schools  ( 3% ) .
[ 1st June 2021, Northeast Nigeria ] AGUF is implementing a project with funding from Nigerian Humanitarian Fund  ( NHF )  which is titled; “Strengthening the provision of primary health care services and bridging the gaps in cholera response to IDPs, Host communities and Returnees in Guyuk and Lamurde LGAs". A total population of 3,986 persons were reached with health awareness campaign, door to door awareness raising on Cholera, COVID 19, as well as hygiene promotion.
[  27 July 2021, Borno state ] Flash flooding from heavy downpours on 27 July directly affected over 800 IDP households in Monguno LGA. Their shelters were overrun at the Government Senior Secondary School  ( GSSS )  camp and food, non food items  ( NFIs )  and property were damaged or lost. At least 113 shelters were seriously damaged. Some wornout shelters will also require fortification including new tarpaulins to enable them to withstand the impacts of rainstorms, which are expected to continue over the coming weeks as the rainy season progresses.
[ 15th Jan   15th Feb 2020, Nigeria ]  Host Communities This round of assessments recorded 1,187,477 or 58 per cent of all IDPs living with host communities. Eighty nine per cent were living in a host family's house  ( up from 86% ) . This is followed by individual houses in 9 per cent  ( down from 11% )  and self made/makeshift shelters in 1 per cent of sites.
[  3rd August 2021, Borno state ] During the monthly Local Coordination Group  ( LCG )  meeting partners raised concerns of impending food shortages for over 7,000 vulnerable households in Rann town, near the border with Cameroon, from the month of October when the entire town will be cut off by flooding for several weeks. Some households are already skipping meals to ration and conserve supplies for as long as possible, according to reports. OCHA is following up with the FSS on plans to replenish supplies. A sentinel alert published by the Nutrition Sector in early July already indicated an approximate 4.6 per cent increase in severe acute malnutrition  ( SAM )  cases, largely as a result of funding shortfalls for remote nutrition management/programming.
[  3rd August 2021, Borno state ] A spike of violence including NSAG illegal vehicle checkpoints  ( IVCPs )  and armed clashes with government forces was recorded across locations and key supply routes during the week, raising concerns for civilian safety. All through the week, NSAGs maintained IVCPs along the Damboa Biu road, stopping several commuter vehicles and asking civilians to show identity documents before allowing them to continue their journey. At least two civilians were reportedly abducted at IVCPs in Damboa wo weeks ago.
[ 19th July 2021, Jigawa State, Nigeria ]   Adamu said the areas were declared open defecation free after over three million families in over 40,000 communities in the areas met the requirement of ODF protocol for hygiene promotion. According to the minister, some of the conditions for attaining the ODF status include: communities must have eliminated open defecation by 100 per cent toilet use and increased ownership and sustainability of hygiene and sanitation services.
[ 19th July 2021, Jigawa State, Nigeria ]  He added that “the ill persons identified within the area were immediately and safely evacuated to the state teaching hospital and are receiving treatment, while health education on safe and hygienic practices were given to the inhabitants of the market'. According to the health commissioner, “further tests carried out by the State Ministry of Health at the Teaching Hospital revealed that all the persons were suffering from cholera.
[ 15th Jan   15th Feb 2020, Nigeria ]  Host Communities : In sites where IDPs were residing with host community, 87 per cent living in the house of the host and 11 per cent in individual houses. Only 1per cent were living in self made or makeshift shelter
[  12th July–18th July 2021, Nigeria ] Challenges  Difficulty in accessing some communities due to security concerns  Open defecation in affected communities  Lack of potable drinking water in some rural areas and urban slums  Inadequate vaccines to cover all LGAs, wards and settlements with cholera outbreaks  Inadequate health facility infrastructure and cholera commodities for management of patients.
[  3rd August 2021, Borno state ] A deadly armed clash that involved the deployment of improvised explosive devices  ( IEDs )  was reported in Kareto, some 35 kilometers from Damasak town where over 76,000 civilians are hosted. At least two civilian commuters were wounded in crossfire. Similar incidents were also reported in Gubio LGA and the Maiduguri Damaturu highway, where NSAG operatives carjacked a vehicle and abducted an unspecified number of civilians on 1 August. In addition to flooding impacting road access to some affected locations during the ongoing rainy season there are growing concerns that the spate of violence along major supply routes could further shrink the humanitarian space across the region, especially in Borno State, cutting off civilians from critical assistance and services.
[ 11th July 2021, Nigeria ]  Nigeria hopes to receive in July/August 2021 additional 3.9m doses of the AstraZeneca AZD1222 vaccine. The Federal Government will procure 29.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson  ( Janssen )  COVID 19 vaccine through the African Union Commission and the AfreximBank arrangement by September 2021. In addition, Abuja hopes to get more vaccines through the magnanimity of President Joe Biden of the United States. Nigeria will also tap into additional vaccines for developing countries worth $775 million for the next two years by the GAVI Vaccine Alliance.
[ 15th Jan   15th Feb 2020, Nigeria ]  Host Communities: In contrast to camps and camp like settings, hand pumps were the main source of water in 53 per cent  ( down from 54% )  of sites where IDPs are residing with host communities. In 26 per cent of sites  ( up from 25% ) , piped water was the main source of drinking water, followed by protected wells  ( 8%   down from 9% )  and unprotected wells  ( 7%   up from 6% ) . Other common water sources include water trucks  ( 5% )  and surface water  ( 1% ) .

[ 18th Aug   5th Sep 2020, Nigeria ]  Overall, households are struggling to access food in Yobe States due to an increase in the prices of key staple food commodities across most markets. The impact of this is underscored by seasonally depleted household stocks and market supply constraints, due to the COVID 19 outbreak in the country which has resulted in major disruption in the supply chain of staples.
[ 5th   11th July 2021, Nigeria ]  In Week 27, the number of new confirmed cases increased to 693 from 392 reported in week 26. These were reported in 14 states and FCT  ( Tables 1 & 2 ) . • In Week 27, the number of discharged cases decreased to 57 from 433 in week 26. These were reported in 6 states and FCT  ( Tables 1 & 3 ) . • There were 3 deaths reported in the last one week  ( Tables 1 & 4 ) . • Cumulatively, since the outbreak began in Week 9, 2020 there have been 168,552 cases and 2,124 deaths reported with a case fatality rate  ( CFR )  of 1.3%  ( Tables 1 & 4 ) .
[ 1st June 2021, Northeast Nigeria ] Access to secondary health care and referral services in remote areas is significantly limited. Unavailability of network coverage in the newly liberated areas negatively affects timely submission of health data for prompt decision making.
[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Increased evaporation, more extreme heavy rainfall events, and increased river flows in some areas, are projected to increase flood damage to dams and turbines, while reservoir evaporation, siltation, and increased rainfall and river flow variability will pose a challenge for hydropower development due to the drying up of water resources. In addition, reduced rainfall and higher temperatures in the north could reduce the availability of biomass, an important energy source for rural households. s. Energy demand in Nigeria will increase due to rising temperatures and due to evaporation rates a reduced supply of biomass may be available for fuel. An increased frequency of heavy rainfall events may increase the frequency and intensity of flooding and storm surges, consequently damaging and disrupting energy production infrastructures, including generation transmission
[ 15th Jan   15th Feb 2020, Nigeria ]  PERSONAL HYGIENE FACILITIES Camps and camp like settings : In 96 per cent of displacement sites  ( up by 1% ) , toilets were described as ‘not hygienic', while toilets were reported to be in hygienic conditions in only 3 per cent of sites  ( down from 5% )  and unusable in 1 per cent of sites. In both Bauchi and Yobe, all toilets were described as not hygienic in this round of assessment as well. In Borno, 96 per cent of sites were reported as not hygienic  ( up from 4% ) .
[ 5th   11th July 2021, Nigeria ]  The Government of Nigeria has continued to introduce and implement measures to reduce the risk of surge in COVID 19 cases in the country. This includes international travel restrictions and protocol, limits on large gatherings and mandatory use of face masks.
[ 15th Jan   15th Feb 2020, Nigeria ]  Host communities In 97 per cent of host community sites  ( no change from the last round of assessment ) , toilets were described as not hygienic.

[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Higher temperatures, land and water scarcity, flooding, drought, and displacement will negatively impact agricultural production and cause further breakdown in food systems. These disproportionally affect those most vulnerable and can lead to food insecurity. Vulnerable groups risk further deterioration into food and nutrition crises if exposed to extreme weather events. Without considerable efforts made to improve climate resilience, it has been estimated that the risk of hunger and malnutrition globally could increase by up to 20% by 2050.
[ 10   16 July 2021, Dikwa LGA  ( Borno State )  ] It has been observed that most shelters are completely destroyed by windstorms, rainfall and fire outbreaks while others are partially damaged because of termites and worn out tarpaulins.

[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Precipitation: In Nigeria, precipitation trends have a high degree of variability and the last several decades have observed a decrease in the predictability for seasonal rains across the country. Overall, rainfall has decreased incrementally across the country since the 1960s. Rainfall for the country varies from a very wet coastal area with annual rainfall greater than 3,500 mm to the Sahel region in the northwest and north eastern parts, which receive an annual rainfall less than 600 mm. The annual variation of rainfall, particularly in the northern parts, is large. This has resulted in climatic hazards, especially floods and droughts.26 Observed rainfall patterns indicate that rainfall for the country over the past century declined by approximately 80 centimeters  ( cm ) .27
[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Temperature According to analysis from the German Climate Service Center  ( GERICS )  of 32 Global Climate Models  ( GCMs ) , temperatures across Nigeria are expected to increase by 2.9°C to as much as 5.7°C by end of the century.29 Nighttime temperatures are expected to increase by as much as 4.7°C. An increase in the duration of heat waves by a range of an additional 8 to 55 days are expected by the end of the century.30 Temperature increases are expected to be lower in the southern areas of the country, but will increase much more rapidly in the interior and northern areas in comparison. Low temperatures are also expected to increase.31
[ 14th July 2021, Nigeria ]  Nigeria has experienced persistent volatility and increases in food prices in the last five years. A myriad of factors are responsible for these; the pastoral conflict, the lack of proper storage facilities, volatile oil prices, climate change, rising cost of energy and logistics, stifling government policies, natural disasters, the Coronavirus pandemic, and currency devaluation. The intersection of these factors has led to stagnant earnings, dwindling productivity, rising insecurity, and a growing concern about food shortages.
