During the reporting period, UNHCR and partners reached more than thirty-four thousand individuals in Nigeria with protection and material assistance. As the lead Refugee and Protection agency, UNHCR Nigeria’s interventions for the North-East IDP and Cameroon refugee situations focus on the following: Protection Monitoring and Response; Supporting activities related Sexual and Gender-Based Violence and Psychosocial Counselling Provision of material assistance such as shelter, food and non-food items (NFIs); Livelihood and Peacebuilding; Camp Management Camp Coordination (CCCM) support; Advocacy; Capacity building and Awareness-raising; Return Monitoring, Registration of new arrivals and returnees Vulnerability Screening; and Access to justice The North-East Situation The security situation in North-East Nigeria remained generally fluid and unpredictable during the month of April. Twenty-six Boko Haram related incidents ranging from suicide bombings to attacks against military and civilian infrastructure were recorded during the period under review, all of them taking place in Borno – the most affected state by the current insurgency. Even though the military is making further advances and recapturing areas previously occupied by Boko Haram, government counter-insurgency measures compounded by indiscriminate attacks remain causes of further and new population displacements. The situation could drag on in the months ahead as the Nigerian military, and its regional counterparts have embarked on ‘Operation Last Hold’ in the final push against Boko Haram. Access to ‘newly liberated areas’ remains a challenge for humanitarian workers as the only means of transport is the UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS). Notwithstanding the difficult operating environment and the increasingly precarious situation, UNHCR and other humanitarian agencies remain engaged where possible, through local partners and the rotational deployments of its national and international staff to deliver services to people desperately in need of protection and other life-saving assistance in the affected areas. UNHCR has maintained its advocacy for appropriate actions by government to address the physical protection of the displaced and to ensure that the civilian character of camps is not compromised. For example, reinforcing security in and around the camps and redeploying police presence and re-establishing civilian administrations in newly liberated areas to ensure that the civil liberties of the displaced are restored. Preparations continued during the period between UNHCR and its Nigerian and Cameroonian government counterparts about efforts to operationalize the March 2017 Tripartite Agreement for the voluntary repatriation of Nigerian refugees residing in Cameroon. These include technical discussions to begin the actual repatriation of the first batch of some 4,000 Nigerian refugees from Cameroon to Adamawa State. UNHCR and the governments of Nigeria and Cameroon are reassessing logistics and security measures for the movement of returnees to be conducted in safety and dignity in line with the provisions of the Tripartite Agreement. www.unhcr.org 2 NIGERIA SITUATION AT-A-GLANCE / MAR-APR 2018 The Cameroonian Refugee Influx UNHCR and its Nigerian government counterpart, the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced (NCFRMI) have registered 21,291 Anglophone Cameroonian refugees across four bordering states – Cross River and Akwa-Ibom in the south-south, Benue in the middle belt and Taraba in the north-east. The refugees are predominantly from areas in Cameroon’s North-West and South-West Regions of the country affected by the crisis between the government and activists calling for independence of the Anglophone Region. In addition to registration, UNHCR’s response efforts for the Cameroonian refugees are primarily focused on working with partners to provide food and non-food items, shelter and medical assistance and other protection support including monitoring of sexual and gender-based violence incidents and advocacy in refugee hosting communities. To also ensure the physical protection of individuals residing along the borders, the government and UNHCR completed arrangements in April to relocate refugees approximately 50 kilometres to designated sites in Ikom, Cross River State and Adikpo in Benue State following land allocation in the two areas. The refugee influx has since presented a new dimension to the already complex humanitarian situation in Nigeria particularly the lack of adequate resources to effectively support those in critical need of assistance. PARTNERSHIP AND COORDINATION UNHCR’s main government partner is the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI) for both the North-East and Cameroon refugee situations. Other agencies supporting UNHCR for the North-East situation include: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC); Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMAs) and National Identity Management Commission (NIMC). The International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs) partners include: Family Health International 360 (FHI-360); INTERSOS – Italy. National Non-Governmental Organisations and institutions comprise: Center for Caring, Empowerment and Peace Initiatives (CCEPI); Action Initiative for Peace and Development (AIPD); Nigeria Bar Association (NBA); Grassroots Initiative for Strengthening Community Resilience (GISCOR); Integrated Centre and Sanitation & Hygiene Education Initiative (SAHEI) and the American University of Nigeria (AUN). For the Cameroon refugee situation, UNHCR is partnering with the following local NGOs: - Benue Non- Governmental Network (BENGONET), Rhema Care, Caritas, Mediatrix Development Foundation (MDF), Foundation for Justice Development and Peace (FJDP); and Health Initiatives for Safety and Stability in Africa (HIFAS). UNHCR is also collaborating with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the West African Civil Society Forum to address issues of statelessness in Nigeria. www.unhcr.org 3 NIGERIA SITUATION AT-A-GLANCE / MAR-APR 2018 NIGER 108,470 CHAD # OF NIGERIAN Lake 9,932 Chad REFUGEES IN NIGER # OF NIGERIAN Û I SOKOTO HÛ H H REFUGEES IN CHAD ¹H ¹ ¹ H H HH HH H H ¹ H ¹H ¹ E¹¹ ¹HF¹ ¹ H ¹ H ¹ Û " .

  • Fine Particulate Distribution and Assessment in Nasarawa State – Nigeria
    IOSR Journal of Applied Physics (IOSR-JAP) e-ISSN: 2278-4861.Volume 8, Issue 2 Ver. I (Mar. - Apr. 2016), PP 32-38 www.iosrjournals Fine Particulate Distribution and Assessment in Nasarawa State – Nigeria J.U. Ugwuanyi1, A.A. Tyovenda2, T.J. Ayua3 1,2,3 Department Of Physics, University Of Agriculture Makurdi, Benue State - Nigeria Abstract: The purpose of this work is to analyze fine particulate matter (PM10 ) distribution in the ambient air of some major towns in Nasarawa State-North central Nigeria using a high volume respirable dust sampler (APM 460 NL) model, also the meteorological parameters of the State have been correlated with the measured values. Ambient air laden with suspended particulates enter the APM 460 NL system through the inlet pipe, which separates the air into fine and coarse particles. The PM10 concentrations were analyzed to obtain the monthly average PM10 concentration and monthly maximum concentration. The results show that Nasarawa State towns of Karu and Lafia have fine particulates loading in the ambient air more than the recommended standard set by NAAQS and WHO. Variation trends of pollution levels were also identified. The fine particulate matter PM10 average concentrations in the ambient air of Nasarawa State towns had average values increase in the range of 4.0 – 18.0µg/m3 per month. The level of monthly increase of maximum average concentrations also had readings in the range of 8.0 – 20.0 µg/m3 per month. These values were compared with the NAAQS to obtain the toxicity potential for all the study towns in the State.

This study which assessed urban solid waste management in Ebonyi state with focus on Abakaliki urban specifically sought to find out why indiscriminate solid waste disposal/dumps has persisted in Abakaliki urban, investigate the measures put in place to curtail the tide and ascertain the extent to which indiscriminate waste disposal affects people’s health and environment. Four null hypotheses were formulated and Human Capital Theory was adopted as the theoretical framework. The study used survey design whereby data were collected from the sample considered to be representative of the population. Taro Yameni’s formula was applied to reduce the initial population of 116,987 to a smaller researchable size of 399 while data were collected through structured questionnaire. The data collected were presented in tables containing frequencies of the responses and their corresponding percentages. The four hypotheses of the study were tested using chi-square (X2) statistical tool and the result of the analyses revealed that: there is currently no government approved dumpsites in Abakaliki metropolis, most communicable diseases are contracted from dirty environment, among others.

  • 53 Implications of Religious Conflicts on Peace Jegede, O
    Ilorin Journal of Religious Studies, (IJOURELS) Vol.9 No.1, 2019, pp.53-70 IMPLICATIONS OF RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS ON PEACE, NATIONAL SECURITY AND DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA Jegede, O. Paul Department of Religious Studies, Faculty of Humanities, Management, and Social Science, Federal University of Kashere (FUK), Gombe [email protected], 07031890773, Abstract The study is an attempt to examine the perennial incidents of religious crises in Nigeria which is ever on the increase, claiming hundreds of lives, destroying properties worth millions of naira. The colossal lose to violent religious conflicts in Nigeria did not end with loss of lives and properties. In fact, its attendant effects on peaceful co-existence, political stability and socio-economic development is beyond comprehension. Hardly can one speak of progress in Nigeria when our social, political, economic and religious systems fail to maintain at least a minimum level of social decorum. At the same time, sustainable and lasting religious peace across the nation have been aborted times without number owing to the recurrent cases of religious conflicts. As those religious conflicts linger on, distrust and suspicion became the order of the day, more especially between the adherents of Islam and Christianity in Nigeria. Though, there are records of occasional conflicts between African Traditional Religion and other religions for a number of reasons. These may include superiority complex, that is, claim of superiority by both Islamic and Christianity over the African Traditional religion and culture, disregard and contempt for African traditional religion and institutions. The paper, therefore, gave an overview of the general concept of conflicts, causes of conflicts in Nigeria as well as implications of conflicts in Nigeria.

Dam, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The structure of road network connectivity in any region can either promote or reduce agricultural production, market opportunities, cultural and social interactions as well as businesses and employment opportunities. This study evaluates road network connectivity in the Benue Basin of Nigeria. Data on the existing road network including type and conditions, density and length of the roads in the study area were extracted from existing road map of Nigeria, and satellite imagery of the Benue basin. The data was analysed using different methods of network connectivity analysis including beta index, alpha and gamma indices. The findings reveal four types of roads network in the basin which are grouped into three categories namely: federal highways (trunk A), state government roads (trunk B) and local government and community roads (trunk C) which are in various state of deplorable conditions.

    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.6, No.2, 2015 Religious Conflicts and Education in Nigeria: Implications for National Security Ushe Mike Ushe, Ph.D School of Arts and Social Sciences,National Open University of Nigeria,Lagos. Abstract The persistent religious conflicts and insecurity in Nigeria has given meaningful Nigerians a cause for deep concern in recent times. Many of them wonder why religion which used to be the cohesive factor and core of national unity, peaceful co-existence and national development has become a tool for political manipulation, violence, destruction of lives and property in Nigeria in contemporary time. This paper examines education as a catalyst for resolving conflicts and enhancing national security in Nigeria. The paper first of all defined the terms that are used in this presentation. It also makes a review of some religious conflicts experienced in Nigeria together with their causes and the effects. Furthermore, the paper examined education in Nigeria as a catalyst for sustenance of national security. The paper utilized both secondary sources and observation methods for data collection and presentation. Finding from the research reveals that religious conflicts and insecurity are endemic in Nigeria in the last two decades. The Muslims and Christian adherents have fought wars in Nigeria than they had actually fought for peace, thereby threatening peaceful co-existence and national security among the citizenry. The paper recommends among others, that the government should employ meaningful ways such as education and inter-faith dialogue to enhance peaceful co-existence and national security in Nigeria.
