The reporting period witnessed a high level of movement, with a total of 16, 542 new arrivals, 3,068 departures and 201 transit movements recorded across 33 LGAs in Borno and Adamawa states. The main reasons for the returns are improved security and voluntary relocation, while new displacement is propelled by poor living conditions, fear of attack, ongoing conflict and military operations2. On 23rd March, the Nigerian Government announced its intention to facilitate the return of IDPs from Maiduguri to Bama LGA. Bama currently has the largest number of displaced people (203,374) still outside of the LGA, and at the same time also hosts the highest number of IDPs (49,139 persons DTM Round XXI) of all Borno LGAs. The first voluntary returns exercise, supported by a government package of 10,000 Naira cash, a 50kg bag of rice, and a bag of maize flour per family, was scheduled for 2nd April. Humanitarian actors have emphasized the importance of ensuring that all returns processes take place in a safe, voluntary, and dignified manner, and take into consideration the capacity of state and other actors to meet the needs of returnees. As of 31st March, 133 cases of Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) with 12 deaths (a case fatality rate of 9%) were reported in Bade and Yusufari LGAs of Yobe State. Laboratory tests confirmed the presence of cholera. WASH and health partners - including UNICEF, WHO, VCM, MSF Spain, State Ministry of Health (SMoH), State Primary Health Care Board (SPHCMB) and LGAs authorities - are responding in the affected areas. Meanwhile, the number of cholera cases in Kukawa LGA continues to decline following responses by UNICEF and partners. A total number of 639 cases and 3 deaths were reported at the end of March (resulting in a case fatality rate of 0.5%). On 1st March, members of a non-state armed groups attacked the military camp in Rann, killing seven military personnel. Hostilities also resulted in the deaths of three humanitarian workers (including a doctor working for a UNICEF contractor) and the abduction of three female health workers (including a nurse working for a UNICEF contractor). Humanitarian activities in Rann were suspended as a result of the attack, temporarily leaving the local population and an estimated 40,000 IDPs without life-saving assistance. The attack also resulted in the closure of the only school in Rann, thus halting learning opportunities for 7300 children (46% of whom are girls) and the destruction of 2,700 school bags with essential learning materials prepositioned in preparation for new enrolment. All teachers have moved to Maiduguri following the attack.

UNICEF NIGERIA COUNTRY OFFICE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION REPORT Sitrep no. 03, 01-31 March 2018 UNICEF has continued to diversify and strengthen its partnerships, and has signed 11 new Programme Cooperation Agreement (PCAs) with NGOs. To deliver nutrition services, UNICEF has supported the State Primary Health Care Development Agency (SPHCDA) to set up 35 outreach sites in Borno (MMC 21; Jere 9; Mafa 3 and Konduga 2) and 26 in Yobe (Barde 3; Karasuwa 3; Jakusko 4; Nguru 3; Bursari 4; Geidam 3; Gulani 3 and Yusufari 3). In addition, 10 mobile teams have been established in Gwoza, Pulka, Izge, Bama, Banki, Damasak, Kukawa, Gubio, Rann and Dikwa of Borno providing integrated nutrition services to 50 sites. Summary Analysis of Programme Response Nutrition During the reporting period, 21,890 children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) were admitted to UNICEF-supported treatment facilities in the three north-east states. Overall, the performance indicators for the community management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) are within the Sphere standards, with 93.5 per cent cure rate, 4.7 per cent defaulter rate, 0.7 per cent non-responder and 0.4 per cent death rate. A total of 10,497 children (6 – 23 months) received micronutrient powder and 7,802 new mothers/caregivers were reached with support and counselling on infant and young child feeding. These results were achieved through: 1. Continued active SAM case detection at the community level: a total of 1,664,380 children under five years of age were screened, out of which 15,889 children with SAM were identified and referred to the treatment centers. 2. Continued treatment and follow up at the OTPs. In addition, programme monitoring was improved through the training of 31 LGA facilitators (7 females and 24 males) and 32 nutrition focal persons (23 females and 9 males) on real time data collection and reporting from the health facilities to the LGAs and states for Borno and Yobe states.

  • Site Suitability for Yam, Rice and Cotton Production in Adamawa State of Nigeria: a Geographic Information System (Gis) Approach
    FUTY Journal of the Environment, Vol. 4, No. 1, 2009 45 © School of Environmental Sciences, Federal University of Technology, Yola-Nigeria. ISSN 1597-8826 © School of Environmental Sciences, Federal University of Technology, Yola-Nigeria. ISSN 1597-8826 SITE SUITABILITY FOR YAM, RICE AND COTTON PRODUCTION IN ADAMAWA STATE OF NIGERIA: A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) APPROACH. M. Ikusemoran and T. Hajjatu Department of Geography, Adamawa State University, Mubi, Nigeria. ABSTRACT This paper demonstrated the potentials of GIS technique for mapping and delineating the suitable sites for Yam, Rice and Cotton production in Adamawa State. Site suitability mapping is necessary to create data bank and to guide the farmers in decision making on sites for crop production in the state. The use of GIS for this decision making introduces reliability and saves time with a consequent increase in agricultural productivity. The six criteria that were used for the study include soil, topography, vegetation, temperature, annual rainfall and lengths of rainy season. A combination of Ilwis 3.0 Academics, Arcview GIS 3.0 and Idrisi 32 were used for data capture and analysis. Using Boolean operations on the six criteria, and based on the requirements for each crop, all the areas that met the six conditions were considered “most suitable”. The areas with five conditions were assigned “suitable”, while the areas with four and/or three criteria were considered “just suitable”. The areas that were considered unsuitable are those areas that met no condition or the areas that met only one or two conditions. The study revealed that yam production in the state is “most suitable” in only Ganye Jada and Toungo Local Government Areas (LGA) in the Southern part of the state, covering only 5.05% of the state land mass.

  • Week 29 Report
    CCCM - NIGERIA Multi Sector Tracker weekly report Date of report 29 July 2017 17 to 23 July 2017 (Week 29) INTRODUCTION The site tracker is a weekly gap analysis and monitoring of services tool used by the site facilitators and site management agencies, in support of the Government camp management agencies and in areas with no camp managers, to identify and refer gaps in delivery and assistance in IDP sites. It enables stakeholders to track activities and avoid duplication of eorts, in support of the sectors as a basis of follow-up on quality of services delivered. It contributes to speed up the time of response by concerned partners and avoid unnecessary delays. As of July 2017, over 87 camps are covered in Borno and Adamawa by the IOM site facilitators in support of the Government Site Managers, either dedicated or mobile team, to strengthen camp management mechanisms and coordination of delivery. The areas sites covered are located in the following LGAs: Girei,Yola South, Yola North and Fufore. The report must not be misconstrued to represent the situation of all IDP camps in North-eastern Nigeria and covers only the sites in review during the week. 17 Sites in, GIREI, YOLA NORTH and YOLA SOUTH LGAs in ADAMAWA State in review this week GIREI EYN CHURCH VINIKILANG, SEGERE DUTSE, CHEKAMIDERI, LOWCOST QUARTERS, NANA VILLA, UNGWAN ABUJA FUFORE DAWARE CAMP, WURO AHI, FUFORE CAMP YOLA ST.

  • Measuring Landcover Indicies of Adamawa State Using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (Gis) Techniques
    FUTY Journal of the Environment, Vol. 4, No. 1, 2009 1 © School of Environmental Sciences, Federal University of Technology, Yola-Nigeria. ISSN 1597-8826 ((©© School of Environmental Sciences, Federal University of Technology, Yola-Nigeria. ISSN 1597-8826 MEASURING LANDCOVER INDICIES OF ADAMAWA STATE USING REMOTE SENSING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) TECHNIQUES A. A. Musa1 and A. L. Tukur2 1Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics, Federal University of Technology, Yola 2Department of Geography, Federal University of Technology, Yola ABSTRACT Areas covered by marshlands, highlands and plains were needed in each local government area (LGA) as the bases for allocating funds to the LGAs. In recognition of the fact that ground survey techniques are very labor intensive, consumes a lot of time and generally inconveniencing, a GIS technique was adopted. Satellite images of the state were sub divided along the LGA boundaries. Highlands were located visually and digitized into vector polygons, and then by using the polygon tool of the GIS, areas covered by the polygons were determined. The image classification routine was used to isolate marshlands. By going to the ‘Raster Tools…’ menu and specifying the ‘Display/Edit Raster Attributes’ tool, the areas covered by the marshlands were also determined. Areas covered by plains on the other hand were determined indirectly. The area covered by highlands (already computed) was subtracted from the total area of the LGA by using manual qualitative deduction. Since highlands and plains are mutually exclusive, the result of the subtraction is the area covered by plains. It was observed that LGAs with the highest percentage of marshlands are those which R.Benue pass through.

  • A Case for the Political Redistricting of Adamawa State, Nigeria
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 1, Ver. II (Jan. 2014), PP 12-24 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Geography of Politics: A Case for the Political Redistricting of Adamawa State, Nigeria AbdullahiLimanTukur ,Mohammed MahmudBarde Department of Geography,School of Environmental Sciences,ModibboAdama University of Technology Yola,Adamawa State Nigeria Abstract: This paper examines current political representations in Adamawa State in the light of democratic principles of fairness, justice and equity to propose a redistricting of the state with a view to redressing imbalances and deviations from standard practices and the law. It is argued that the current situation where an area is being represented by six members in the state assembly and one member at the federal house of representative on the one hand and another area represented by two members in the state assembly and one member at the federal house of representative on the other hand is not only absurd, lopsided and illogical but also cannot be said to be democratic. This situation has created and sustained feelings of marginalization and deprivation. A redistricting that redresses such imbalances and inequities is proposed using standard criteria,within a Geographic Information System environment, to achieve democratic imperatives of fairness and justice. Key Words: Redistricting Adamawa, democratic fairness, justice I. Introduction Early on return to civil rule in Nigeria in 1999 notable international agencies concerned with democracy and development; such as the Commonwealths Office, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) and the United Nations Electoral Assistance Division (UNEAD), were approached to help review Nigeria‟s electoral arrangement with a view to achieving a realistic electoral reform.
