Conflict-Induced Displacement in Nigeria

This book examines the causes, impacts, and management of displacement in Nigeria’s most conflict-affected regions. It provides a detailed analysis of how armed conflict disrupts lives, livelihoods, and communities, while evaluating the effectiveness of humanitarian interventions by state and non-state actors. The book explores the historical and socio-political roots of displacement, the lived experiences of internally displaced persons, and the challenges of providing shelter, healthcare, and social protection. It highlights governance, coordination, and policy frameworks that shape humanitarian responses and assesses strategies for resilience, social cohesion, and post-crisis recovery. Combining empirical research with theoretical insights, this work offers practical guidance for policymakers, development practitioners, and scholars seeking to understand and address the complex dynamics of displacement in Nigeria and similar contexts.
