Situation Overview

The situation in North-East Nigeria remains volatile, particularly in several Local Government Areas (LGAs) across Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa (BAY) States, leading to ongoing displacement. Since June 2022, Adamawa State has also witnessed a significant influx of individuals fleeing Cameroon, adding to the already complex humanitarian landscape in the region.

In addition, Cameroonian refugees displaced by the crisis in the anglophone region —driven by calls for secession — have been seeking refuge in Nigeria since 2017. These refugees are now residing across the South-South, South-East, Middle-Belt, and North-East regions, further contributing to the multifaceted nature of displacement in the country.
