As of April 2024, DTM identified a total of 1,302,443 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in 219,445 households across Benue, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, and Zamfara states. The data collection started in March 2024 in 1,733 locations, in the ten states of north-central and north-west Nigeria. The IDP population included IDPs in camps and camp-like settings (287,790 individuals or 22%) and IDPs residing in host communities (1,014,305 individuals or 78%). This signifies an IDP increase of 19 per cent or 210,247 IDPs compared to what it was in December 2023. One of the major reasons for the increase is the addition of Kogi and Niger States in the DTM rounds of assessment in the north-west north-central region of Nigeria.
