SHARE

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has reported that over 1.1 million Nigerians have been internally displaced, with a staggering 877,299 individuals driven from their homes due to ongoing conflict and violence.

The new figures show that 251,082 households across seven states have been affected by internal displacement.

Borno State, the epicenter of Nigeria’s Boko Haram insurgency, recorded the highest number of displaced persons, with 206,753 households impacted.

In the report released on Tuesday, the NBS revealed that 77.3 percent of the displaced persons came from Borno alone.

The survey, conducted in 2023, included the states of Adamawa, Yobe, Borno, Sokoto, Katsina, Benue, and Nasarawa, providing a sobering snapshot of the scale of the internal displacement crisis.

The survey highlighted that the primary causes of displacement include the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency, which accounted for 81.2 percent of the total, followed by farmer-herder clashes at 16.2 percent and banditry and kidnappings at 1.6 percent.

The NBS report found that minors—children under the age of 18—make up 50.3 percent of the displaced population, a stark reminder of the humanitarian toll on the most vulnerable members of society.

In a tragic irony, 83.4 percent of the displaced persons have been living in camps or other makeshift accommodations for over four years, further worsening their suffering.

“The displacement crisis in Nigeria is now one of the most pressing humanitarian emergencies in the country,” the NBS said in its report.
