Nigeria — Flow Monitoring Dashboard 35 (January 2020)

Results show that the average daily number of individuals observed in January 2020, at the FMPs in Nigeria, was 1,208. This represents a 5 per cent decrease compared to the daily average of December 2019. The 5% decrease from the previous month was largely due to the government’s tight security at the Nigeria-Niger borders. Nigeria,  Niger, Chad, and Cameroon were the main countries of departure and intended destination for individuals passing through FMPs. In addition, the types of flows identified were: short-term local movements (43% of all flows); economic migration of more than six months (36% of all flows); seasonal migration (11% of all flows); and tourism (10% of all flows).

Five main modes of transport were identified: car (54% of all flows), bus (29% of all flows), bicycle (5% of all flows), motorbike (5% of all flows) and foot (5% of all flows).
