Boko Haram uses an Islamist ideology to oppose the Nigerian and other states. Violent tactics, including looting and kidnapping for ransom, sustain the group's operations. Boko Haram also operates in Cameroon, Chad, and Niger.
[ 25th May 2021, Nigeria ]  The growing presence of armed groups – locally referred to as “bandits' – in Katsina, Kaduna, and Zamfara states increasingly affected health care and health workers. These “bandits' are believed to have set up camps in Rugu forest in Zamfara state, which they use as a springboard for attacks on rural communities to steal cattle and food supplies or to carry out ambushes on roads; they often kill those who resist kidnapping. There are some concerns that these groups, who operate mainly for financial profit, may have been infiltrated by extremists.
[ 8th April 2021, Nigeria ]  The AAN also called on state governments to prioritise improved security for children in schools and a quality educational system. The global human rights coalition also warned that the menace of abduction was a threat to efforts at reducing the rate of out of school children in Nigeria, particularly, the girl child.

Health workers were kidnapped in southern Nigeria, where kidnappings for profit are common. Nigerian Armed Forces personnel also injured a health worker.
[ 1st July 2021, Nigeria ] The burden of Gender based violence  ( GBV )  has been on the increase since the onset of the humanitarian crisis in Nigeria in 2009  ( with the crisis peaking in 2014 2015 )  and this has led to massive levels of displacement, food insecurity, and vast humanitarian needs. The three most affected states of this crisis have been Borno, Adamawa and Yobe  ( BAY ) .
[ 25th May 2021, Nigeria ]  Boko Haram looted medicine before burning down health centers in Borno and Yobe states in north eastern Nigeria at least five times in 2020. These incidents were mostly suspected targeted attacks intended to obtain treatment for sick fighters and their families.
[ 15th 21st May 2021, Dikwa LGA, Borno State ] The lingering conflict in Nigeria's North East Zone has been the major cause of widespread population displacement. Over 2 million persons have been forced to leave their areas of residence in search of safety and security in neighbouring Wards and LGAs.
[ 1st July 1st September 2020, Adamawa and Borno States ] In 22% of the assessed settlements, sick members of the community were reportedly isolated from others. Isolation practices seemed to be least common in some Borno LGAs, as isolation was reportedly practiced in only 6% of assessed settlements in Bama, 7% in Dikwa, 8% in Damboa, 8% in Ngala and 9% in Marte. Other preventive measures cited by IDI participants were praying, practicing social distance, limiting/reducing greetings, covering the face, avoid sharing food or direct water sources and changing burial practices.
[ 1st July 1st September 2020, Adamawa and Borno States ] The key exceptions to this were Damboa and Gubio, where in more than half of the assessed settlements, most community members were reportedly living in permanent house structures  ( 61%, 62%, respectively ) . Meanwhile in Askira/Uba, most people were reportedly living without a shelter and sleeping in the open in more than 14% of assessed settlements in Askira/Uba.
[ 6th July 2021, Nigeria ]  Across the affected BAY states, more than 50 per cent of people  ( including 80 per cent of IDPs )  needed assistance, the vast majority in Borno State. Most severe and acute humanitarian needs remained concentrated in areas affected by conflict and locations hosting large numbers of IDPs and returnees. Prospects for IDP's safe return to areas of origin remained tenuous in most areas. There has been some pressure on displaced populations to return to their LGAs of origin, even while the conflict continues and despite gaps in infrastructure, basic services, and the presence of civilian administration in return areas.
[ 3rd Sept 2021, Northern Nigeria ]  Hauwa and the other students abducted during the attack have since returned. However, Hauwa's school and other schools in the area remain closed due to fears of more attacks   meaning Hauwa's education has been put on hold.
[ 6th July 2021, Nigeria ]  The humanitarian crisis in Nigeria's north eastern states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe  ( the so called BAY states )  persisted unabated in 2020 with no clear end in sight. Characterized by devastated communities, armed conflict, violations of human rights and dignity, killings, sexual violence, abduction and forced displacement, protection concerns were at the forefront of the crisis. In 2020, some 10.6 million women, men, girls and boys were in acute need of protection and assistance, which led to the 2020 Nigeria Humanitarian Response Plan  ( HRP )  appeal for $1.1 billion to target 7.8 million affected people.
[ 1st July 1st September 2020, Adamawa and Borno States ] In Dikwa in Borno state, in most assessed settlements  ( 79% ) , cases of abduction of girls were reported in the month prior to data collection, while in Adamawa state, the highest proportion of settlements where the same was reported was Madagali  ( 53% ) . The proportion of settlements reporting abductions of boys was highest in Konduga  ( 68% ) , Gwoza  ( 66% ) , Marte  ( 64% )  and Bama  ( 63% ) , all in Borno. The LGAs with the highest proportions of assessed settlements where women were reportedly abducted were in Borno  ( Dikwa 64%, Askira/Uba 62% and Bama 59% ) , whereas the LGA with the highest proportion of assessed settlements where abductions of men were reported was Bama  ( 71% ) .

[ 24th May 2021, Nigeria ] Like India, Nigeria's main cities are massively populated and, like the South Asian nation, Nigeria suffers poor access to coronavirus vaccines and is experiencing a huge health crisis. Across the West African nation, hospitals already face huge burdens as alarming numbers of cases of infectious diseases and common sicknesses like malaria and HIV/AIDS are coupled with lousy health infrastructure and low numbers of medical workers.
[ 1st May 2021, Nigeria ] Measurably high inflation rates make access to food even more difficult. Liberia, Sierra Leonne and Nigeria are the most impacted countries in the region, with inflation rates of 303, 179 and 182 percent respectively. Similar trends are noted along “food' inflation rates too. WFP, for example has reported alert or crisis level price hikes in over half of the 1,000 + markets monitored in the region. Food prices are well above 15 percent higher than the five year average in April 2021 – see Figure 8. This is alarming, given even a slight price hike of 5 percent can have far reaching consequences for those living hand to mouth.
[ 1st July 1st September 2020, Adamawa and Borno States ] In 99% of the assessed settlements in Adamawa and in 97% of the assessed settlements in Borno, KIs reported that some members of the community planted and harvested in the previous rainy season. Although access to land may have changed compared to previous year, in 98% of the assessed settlements in both states, at least some people had reportedly planted and harvested in the previous rainy season. However, due to conflict related attacks and looting, IDI participants stated that there had been changes in farming practices, such as farming on smaller plots closer to home or stopping farming, which will likely impact future food availability.
[ 24th May 2021, Nigeria ] Across the country, according to the most recent statistics from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control  ( NCDC ) , 165,901 coronavirus infections and 2,067 deaths have been reported since the start of the pandemic. But virtually all these numbers are undercounted since testing has been very limited, and parts of the country   notably the northeast and northwest   are experiencing insurgent attacks that make any public health initiatives almost impossible to undertake. In the midst of this violence, the virus could be spreading without anyone even realizing.
[ 24th May 2021, Nigeria ] It is still not clear how far the Indian variant  ( B.1.617.2 )  has spread in Nigeria, as health authorities don't seem to have comprehensive figures, but with the new detection, there are fears that if the disease gets into the country's poorest neighborhoods, like India, overcrowding and very poor sanitation could lead to extremely quick community transmission.
[ 22nd May 2021, Nigeria ]  Nigeria on Saturday recorded 35 new cases of coronavirus, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 156,468, according to official data.

But the devastating nature of the pandemic in India has ensured that the country is unable to meet demands overseas.
[ 24th May 2021, Nigeria ] A drastic rise in demand for coronavirus vaccines in India ensured that 140 million doses intended to be distributed in May to low income countries, including Nigeria, were unsent. The problem doesn't end there. "Another 50 million doses are likely to be missed in June," said Fore, who maintained that "vaccine nationalism, limited production capacity and lack of funding, is why the roll out of Covid vaccines is so behind schedule."
[ 1st May 2021, Nigeria ] The context of the security crisis in the Sahel is hampering the monitoring of the agricultural season and national food security analyses. Increasingly, some areas are hard to access due to high levels of insecurity and information gaps are ever growing.

[ 1st May 2021, North East Nigeria  ] Access to livelihood remains limited, due to insufficient response humanitarian organisations providing such opportunity in the deep field. Most of the people with specific needs remain vulnerable and cannot take care of themselves. The persisting gap for the elderly remain the absence of specialised geriatric institutions in the deep field locations. In the absence of the government institutions, protection actors continue to rely on pre existing family and community safety nets and the community based protection structures to deliver various responses to the needs of the elderly such as home visits and referrals for services.

[ 4th June 2021, Yobe state ] The increase in returnees by almost 4 % can be explained, according to IOM, by the improved security situation in Yobe state ‘allowing IDPs to return to locations of origin and engage in farming activities which coincided with the period of the assessments. Also, the humanitarian interventions and ongoing support in the area facilitated the return movements of many IDPs.
