Nigeria — Displacement Dashboard 21 (January 2018)

This displacement dashboard determines the status, locations, and needs of people displaced by the ongoing conflict in Northeast Nigeria. Assessments were carried out between 22 January 2018 and 2 February 2018. As of 2 February 2018, DTM has identified 1,782,490 IDPs (339,037 households) and 1,386,229 returnees across Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe States. This represents an increase of 4.5% of IDPs (79,810 individuals) from the previous DTM Round. The slight increase in the identified number of IDPs is attributable to the arrival of Nigerians from neighboring countries into situations of secondary displacement, as well as communal clashes and military operations.
