    NORTH-EAST NIGERIA: Flash Update #2 Geidam and Yunusari Lgas, Yobe State As of 5 May 2021

    NORTH-EAST NIGERIA: Flash Update #2 Geidam and Yunusari LGAs, Yobe State As of 5 May 2021 HIGHLIGHTS • A second attack in less than a week by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) occurred in Yobe State, this time in Kanama town, the capital of Yunusari LGA, where an estimated 30,000 people fled for safety. Kanama is about 35 kilometres from Geidam where the first attack occurred on 23 April and 150,000 people were known to flee to neighbouring towns (see Geidam Flash Update #1). • Ongoing insecurity in Geidam and Kanama towns, as well as remote locations in Yunusari, Yusufari, Bursari and Tarmua LGAs, is impeding access to IDPs. The scarcity of resources to respond to needs remains challenging for government and partners. • Multiple displacements and complex movements are impacting efforts to identify and register many of the IDPs. • New arrivals in host communities have signalled food, NFI, shelter, WASH, health and protection services among the most urgent needs. The majority of those displaced are women and children who face grave protection risks across transit and hosting sites, with several children unaccompanied and family members still missing. • The Yobe State Government, humanitarian partners, civil society organisations and host communities continue to provide critical life-saving assistance to IDPs, some repurposing resources earmarked for other programmes to facilitate rapid response to emergency needs. • Resource mobilisation efforts by State Government and partners are ongoing to ramp up life-saving response, especially as resources of host communities rapidly deplete due to the influx of IDPs. OCHA is supporting State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) to roll out LGA-level mechanisms to intensify response and identify/register the most vulnerable groups for priority assistance.

    Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) N IGERIA Annual Report: FY 2018 P ROGRAM DESCRIPTION FACT SHEET #7, FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2013 JANUARY 15, 2013 The United States Agency for International Development’s Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) launched the Nigeria Regional Transition Initiative (NRTI) in September 2014 to diminish conditions that allow Boko Haram to exist and flourish in North East Nigeria. An intensified military offensive by Nigeria, along with support from Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and limited support from the United States, has enabled the Government of Nigeria to reclaim areas previously held by Boko Haram. Coupled with a peaceful change in presidency in 2015 and significant military advances, a sense of optimism loomed in North East Nigeria in the past two years. However, recent counterattacks by insurgents and the emergence of the Islamic State West Africa Province indicates that a long path to recovery still remains. In the midst of a dynamic security situation, NRTI identifies and supports activities OTI MISSION STATEMENT that positively impact citizens’ conditions while minimizing the space that allows terrorists to exist, operate, and thrive in their current environment.

    NORTH-EAST NIGERIA: Flash Update #1 Geidam LGA, Yobe State As of 1 May 2021

    NORTH-EAST NIGERIA: Flash Update #1 Geidam LGA, Yobe State As of 1 May 2021 HIGHLIGHTS • Up to 150,000 civilians have fled Geidam town, Yobe State, after multiple attacks occurred since 23 April 2021, targeting communities and forcing almost the entire population of the town to seek safety. • Many IDPs are in transit along routes leading to neighbouring towns in northern Yobe in Yunusari, Yusufari, Muzugun, Gashua, Nguru and its state capital, Damaturu. The state government is ensuring IDPs in transit locations, and host communities are supported, while efforts continue to contain the safety and security of Geidam town. • SEMA has mobilised local authorities and community leaders in their respective LGAs to support the response. • The Governor of Yobe State summoned an Emergency Security Meeting on 27 April, attended by government members, critical stakeholders including traditional rulers, where he highlighted the increased presence of NSAGs in the state. • An inter-agency emergency coordination centre (ECC) has been established in Gashua, Bade LGA, to facilitate and monitor response operations. • Host community households, religious groups, and volunteers are providing the first line of support to the displaced persons including shelter, cooked meals, water, sleeping mats and other basic needs. • A rapid assessment team from OCHA, with support from the government and partners, arrived in Gashua on 28 April to provide first-hand information on sector priorities. Chronology • 23 April: Geidam was attacked by suspected Non-State Armed Group (NSAG). • 29 April: Attack of Kanamma town, the administrative headquarters of Yunusari LGA, located some 35 kilometres north of Geidam town; though no civilian casualty was reported, this has raised concerns of further displacements and possible crossings of people into the neighbouring Republic of the Niger.
  • Drought Occurrences and Its Implications on the Households in Yobe State, Nigeria Jude Nwafor Eze

    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.

The objectives are to map and evaluate the communities and existing Substations on national Grid with the aim of modelling new substations source for effective power distribution in the study area. The mapping of positions of the substations and communities around the grid was achieved using Etrex 10 handheld GPS receiver and the evaluation was carried out using the Location allocation analysis of ArcGIS 10.3. The result of the model reveals that ten (10) out of the thirty-two (32) communities found were on the national grid while eight (8) distribution substations out of the ten (10) communities were discovered during location-allocation analysis. Consequently, the pattern of distribution of the substations was found to be random but optimal and least cost. Hence, the result of this study will certainly make electricity distribution efficient in the study area and hence recommended for use by all stakeholders.
