Nearly all people in IDP camps in Adamawa and Nasarawa have been displaced from their homes for at least four years

Across IDP camps surveyed by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the share of people displaced from their homes for four years or more ranges from 27% in Katsina to 92.5% in Nasarawa.

Most IDPs across the surveyed states have been displaced for at least four years, with only Sokoto and Katsina recording fewer than 50%. This reflects how long insecurity has persisted and the difficulties displaced persons face in returning home.
