COVID-19 NORTH EAST NIGERIA As at 11Th July 2020 COVID-19 NORTH EAST NIGERIA As at 11th July 2020 Data Source: Situation Update Nol 1 The COVID-19 pandemic continues to gain infection traction in the North East states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, since the first index case was reported on the 18th of April 2020 in Borno State. With over 7.5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region, the COVID-19 pandemic presents a more difficult challenge to an already complex humanitarian situation. The threat of the COVID-19 pandemic looms, particularly for its 1.8 million Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the three states, and even more for the 413,271 IDPs living in the 51 highly congested camps (28 in Maiduguri metropolitan area and 23 in deep field locations) with an average of 12 m2/person. The stealth of the virus in the extremely congested living conditions and interacting with a population characterized by high prevalence of comorbidities, including high incidences of chronic malnutrition and endemic malaria coupled with the current measles and expected cholera outbreaks can result in serious implications. In the meantime, humanitarian assistance continues to be provided (based on program criticality) with adapted implementation modalities to ensure compliance with social distancing and other mitigation measures As at 11th July 2020, a total of 758 confirmed cases have been recorded including 50 deaths, 131 active cases and 577 recoveries in the three states.

In other situations where physical distancing cannot be achieved such as general public transport, or specific working conditions where the individual is in close contact with others, a non-medical mask can be considered. For high risk populations where physical distancing cannot be achieved and risk of infection or outcome of infection is high the WHO says to consider medical masks in these individuals in addition to those with symptoms (source control).

By building and reinforcing self-protection mechanisms, UNHCR empowers persons of concern to claim their rights and to participate in decision-making, including with national and local authorities, and with humanitarian actors. The overall aim of UNHCR Nigeria interventions is to prioritize and address the most serious human rights violations, including the right to life and security of persons.

Yobe (BAY) States. January 2021. A UNHCR protection partner colleague conducts a rapid protection assessment with internally displaced people in Bama, Borno State. © UNHCR/Daniel Bisu www.unhcr.or g 1 NORTH-EAST NIGERIA OPERATIONAL UPDATE JANUARY 2021 Operational Highlights ■ The security situation in the North-East remains unpredictable. The operational area continues to be impacted by the ongoing violent conflict, terrorism, and criminal activities, which have resulted in the displacement, killing and abduction of civilians as well as the destruction of properties and critical infrastructure. The second wave of COVID-19 also continues to exacerbate the already worsening situation. A total of 43 security incidents perpetrated by NSAG in the BAY States comprised of attacks on civilians, improvised explosive devices, and attacks on security forces. ■ In Borno State, members of the non-State armed groups (NSAGs) continued their attacks on both civilian and military targets, attempted to overrun of villages and towns and mounted illegal vehicle checkpoints for the purpose of abduction, looting and robbery. The main supply routes Maiduguri- Gubio, Maiduguri-Mafa and Mungono-Ngala in the Northern axis were most severely hit. The situation along the Maiduguri-Damaturu road, a main supply route, worsened further in January, forcing the reclassification of the route from the hitherto “Restricted” to “No go” for humanitarian staff and cargo.

  • Growth Geographical Determinants of the Structural and Functional
    Growth Vol. 1, No. 1, 10-17, 2014 http://asianonlinejournals.com/index.php/Growth Geographical Determinants of the Structural and Functional Growth of Damaturu Town in Yobe State, Nigeria Ahmed AbubakarJajere1* --- Ibrahim Jaro Musa2 --- Muhammad Isma’il3 1Department of Geography, Umar Sulaiman College of Education, Gashua 2,3Department of Geography, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria Abstract Damaturu town became the capital of Yobe State when the state was created in 1991. Since then, the town has been experiencing rapid changes in the landuse/landcover types due to urban expansion, economic development, and social transformation in the town. This study examined the geographical determinants of the growth of Damaturu town from 1986 to 2009. The satellite imageries of Damaturu were obtained processed and analysed using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System techniques to determine the growth rate of the town within the period of study. This was complemented with the information acquired from the field survey to achieve the objectives of the study. Findings revealed that within this period (1991-1999), Damaturu built-up area increased about four times while the urban area increased more than four times. This significant growth was influenced by the location of the administrative offices and housing estates at the periphery of the town, categorisation of the land into administrative, residential, commercial, and industrial areas; as well as the transportation network and substantial population growth within the period. The most influential change within the second period (1999-2005) was increased agriculture and significant urban expansion. Within the current period (2005-2009), the urban area expanded by about 22Km2.

  • Drought Occurrences and Its Implications on the Households in Yobe State, Nigeria Jude Nwafor Eze
    Eze Geoenvironmental Disasters (2018) 5:18 Geoenvironmental Disasters https://doi.org/10.1186/s40677-018-0111-7 RESEARCH Open Access Drought occurrences and its implications on the households in Yobe state, Nigeria Jude Nwafor Eze Abstract The study assesses the extent of droughts and its implications on the households in the study area. This is to highlight the need to integrate drought adaptation options into the government development plans. Strategies for drought adaptation options in the study area have often been made without experimental foundations placed on the extent of drought and its implications on the households. To achieve this, the study employed Normalized Rainfall Index (NRI) to determine the extent of droughts and its implications on the households, which has much to offer in terms of policy decisions. The study also utilized questionnaire administrated to 400 households to determine the annual income from different occupations that yielded more income to the people in the study area using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The NRI shows that the study area was characterized by mild to severe drought events. The first (1986–1995) and third (2006–2017) decades experienced high incidences of droughts, while the second decade (1996–2005), witnessed the least incidences of droughts. The result of the economic activities of the households reveals that 65% of the total household respondents were involved in farming, while 35% were involved in non-farming activities as their major source of livelihood. The analysis of variance on the economic activities that generated more income to the households in Yobe State shows that farming activities provided more opportunities for income generation.

  • Where Did Quantitative Metrics in Hausa and Other Chadic Songs Come From?1
    1st International Conference on Endangered Languages Kano, 4-6 August 2014 WHERE DID QUANTITATIVE METRICS IN HAUSA AND OTHER CHADIC SONGS COME FROM?1 Russell G. Schuh UCLA The prosody of Hausa poetry and song is quantitative, that is, the rhythmic properties derive from syllable weight (heavy vs. light, or, alternatively, long vs. short). This is true for both formal written verse and for oral song ranging from the songs of professional singers to children’s songs. The prosody of Classical Arabic poetry is likewise quantitative. There is some controversy among Hausa scholars concerning the extent to which quantitative prosody in Hausa can be attributed to Arabic influence. Greenberg (1949) cited five characteristics of prosody that are shared by Arabic and Hausa as evidence that quantitative metrics in all Hausa poetry/song can be attributed to Arabic influence. This paper shows that folk songs of several minimally studied Chadic languages spoken in Yobe State, where there is no evidence of Arabic influence, share the five properties that Greenberg cited. The conclusion is that these features are essentially universal to the prosodic systems of languages in which syllable weight is salient. The prosodic systems of poetry/song in Arabic, Hausa, Yobe State Chadic languages, and more distantly related languages of the Afroasiatic phylum are all manifestation of the same underlying system. 1. Quantitative Poetic Meters The inherent rhythmic properties of metered poetry arise from two main sources, depending on the language: stress and quantity. One can illustrate these sources of rhythm with lines from English verse, which relies on syllabic stress, vs.

My unalloyed gratitude at this point goes to my brother priests here in Europe and America, Frs Anthony Ejeziem, Peter Okeke, Joseph Ibeanu and Paul Nwobi for their fraternal love and charity. My immeasurable gratitude goes to my distinguished and erudite moderator, Prof. Krzysztof Kaucha for his assiduousness, meticulosity and dedication in the moderation of this project. His passion for and profound lectures on Fundamental Theology offered me more stimulus towards developing a deeper interest in this area of ecclesiology. He guided me in formulating the theme and all through the work. I hugely appreciate his scholarly guidance, constant encouragement, thoughtful insights, valuable suggestions, critical observations and above all, his friendly approach. I also thank the Rector and all the Professors at John Paul II Catholic University, Lublin, Poland.
