OVERVIEW
As of December 2023, DTM reported a total of 3,397,531 internally displaced persons (IDPs), 1,874,283 IDP returnees, and 209,552 refugee returnees living in more than 3,900 locations across 14 states in Nigeria. This number includes 2,305,335 IDPs identified in locations covered in the North-East, while the remaining 1,092,196 IDPs were identified in locations assessed in North-Central and North-West Nigeria. In 2022, a quality of returns assessment in Borno and Adamawa state sought to measure parity between returnees and the resident population that returned before 2020. It found that returnees and resident population have similar access to services and suitable living conditions. Presently in Nigeria, there is no data on IDPs on their solution pathways or in their preferred location of solutions. However, IDP returnee data is disaggregated by year of return to distinguish recent returnees.
