Between 28 October and 8 November 2024, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Kogi State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), and the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS), identified 32 locations in Kogi State that were impacted by floods or received internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to the flooding. Through a network of 34 key informants and field focal points, and in close coordination with other humanitarian partners and local authorities, the assessment was jointly conducted in these locations to provide insights to the government and humanitarian partners on the affected population's primary needs, vulnerabilities, and mobility intentions.
In the six (6) local government areas (LGAs) of Kogi State that were assessed, the joint assessment team identified 121,164 individuals in 21,510 households affected by the floods. These individuals included IDPs who were displaced by the floods and residents who were impacted by the floods but remained in their communities. The affected population included 93,673 displaced individuals.
Forty-nine per cent (49%) of the affected houses were habitable but needed repair, twenty-one per cent were partially damaged but need repairs, twenty-one per cent were habitable don't need repair and eight per cent were totally destroyed. In 84 per cent of the locations assessed, crop farming was among the primary sources of income.
