On 23 July 2017, IOM Nigeria DTM carried out a mission to Guzamala LGA in Borno State to ascertain accessibility of Guzamala, which has been an inaccessible location since the beginning of the programme.
Guzamala town is situated in the northern part of Borno State at about 200 Kilometers from Maiduguri, the state capital. The main inhabitants are Kanuri farmers and some Fulani who are mostly herders. Although Guzamala town remains largely inaccessible due to insecurity, DTM was able to access some parts of the LGA near the major road, close to Monguno, with some inhabitants who are mostly returnees.
