Situational Overview
The displacement situation and plans for Adamawa and Yobe were presented. Adamawa State: Below are the updates from ADSEMA on displacement trends, government interventions, and priorities for 2025:
Overview:
• Adamawa State has 17 IDP sites across six LGAs, including two formal sites: Malkohi and Fufore
• There were 18,136 individuals in camps and camp-like settings, 195,103 IDPs in host communities, and 862,874 returnees.
• A total of 64,868 individuals were affected by floods, resulting in 14,393 displacements, 143 injuries, and 36 deaths.
• A total of 12,423 hectares of farmland were submerged, affecting 170 communities during the rainy season. Due to the flooding, 13 IDP sites were established, but only 2 remain, housing 466 households.
• Service infrastructure, including 9 bridges, 19 culverts, 17 worship centers, and 27 schools, were affected by the flood.
Main reasons for displacement in Adamawa in 2024 were: Insurgency, communal clashes, farmer-herder conflicts, armed banditry/kidnapping, flooding, drought, fire outbreaks and wind and rainstorms. In his presentation, the ES SEMA representative noted that some of these changes might still impact the response in 2025, with the state government prioritizing durable solutions. The Adamawa State government has created a conducive environment for durable solution partners. Some of the key actions taken included Intention surveys were conducted in two formal displacement sites, and land was provided for IDP integration in Malkohi settlement, Kwanan Yaji in Gombi, Dauchi in Song, and Labondo in Girei. As part of the support for return efforts, the Adamawa State government will provide return packages, has allocated 15 hectares of land in Madagali LGA (where IOM/UNDP are constructing durable shelters), and will promote skill acquisition through training.
