However, this is to take to the doorstep of the nomadic and other disadvantaged groups, education.Perhaps, as directed by the Nigerian National Policy on Education. The nomadic population in Nigeria has been estimated to be about 9.3 million people of whom about 3.1 million are juvenescence school-aged children. The prepotencies of this population are pastoralists, whereby the remaining population consists of fisher folk and farmers.Fisher Folk Education programs are being implemented in some parts of the country considered to have fisher folk communities with larger populations, such as Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River and Akwa-Ibom states among others. However, none of such educational set-ups is in place in Northern Nigeria, whereas there is the need, as in the case of Yauri Emirate of Kebbi state.

  • Maiduguri: City Scoping Study
    MAIDUGURI: CITY SCOPING STUDY By Marissa Bell and Katja Starc Card (IRC) June 2021 MAIDUGURI: CITY SCOPING STUDY 2 Maiduguri is the largest city in north east Nigeria and the capital of Borno State, which suffers from endemic poverty, and capacity and legitimacy gaps in terms of its governance. The state has been severely affected by the Boko Haram insurgency and the resulting insecurity has led to economic stagnation in Maiduguri. The city has borne the largest burden of support to those displaced by the conflict. The population influx has exacerbated vulnerabilities that existed in the city before the security and displacement crisis, including weak capacities of local governments, poor service provision and high youth unemployment. The Boko Haram insurgency appears to be attempting to fill this gap in governance and service delivery. By exploiting high levels of youth unemployment Boko Haram is strengthening its grip around Maiduguri and perpetuating instability. Maiduguri also faces severe environmental challenges as it is located in the Lake Chad region, where the effects of climate change increasingly manifesting through drought and desertification. Limited access to water and poor water quality is a serious issue in Maiduguri’s vulnerable neighborhoods. A paucity of drains and clogging leads to annual flooding in the wet season. As the population of Maiduguri has grown, many poor households have been forced to take housing in flood-prone areas along drainages due to increased rent prices in other parts of the city. URBAN CONTEXT Maiduguri is the oldest town in north eastern Nigeria and has long served as a commercial centre with links to Niger, Cameroon and Chad and to nomadic communities in the Sahara.
