Over 460 thousand people remain internally displaced across Benue State. Shelter, water, and livelihoods are the basic needs. Urgent investment is essential in advancing solutions that restore dignity and build long-term resilience.

Adamawa State continues to take important steps toward durable solutions for displaced communities. This week’s engagement with the State Government highlighted both the progress made and the urgent gaps that still need attention.

Over 3.7 million people in Nigeria are still displaced. This short film shows how lives are being rebuilt, and why the progress is still fragile. Without sustained support, these gains will not last.

In Edo State, we marked International Women’s Day with a clear message: women’s rights require action. From justice and economic opportunity to protection from violence, our commitments must translate into tangible investment and meaningful partnerships. #IWD

Across migration routes and displacement settings, women and girls face the highest risks. They deserve systems that protect their dignity, expand their choices, and support their futures. Let us commit to action; bold, inclusive, and immediate. #IWD2026

Women on the move show extraordinary courage. They deserve migration systems that protect their safety, honor their contributions, and recognize their leadership. Rights, justice, action - starting now. #IWD2026

A new chapter for Naka! With the support of @eu_echo and the leadership of @benuestategovt, the newly commissioned 500,000-capacity water treatment plant and 960 shelters are set to transform lives, restore dignity, and enhance the quality of life for thousands. Watch Video👇

🚰 Access to clean water saves lives and strengthens communities. At @IOM_Nigeria, we’re expanding access to safe water to support vulnerable communities and improve everyday lives, especially in places like Naka, #BenueState, where needs remain urgent.

Today, we held an engaging discussion with @EUinNigeria to deepen collaboration and align on shared priorities that address the needs of vulnerable populations across Nigeria.

In the wake of #InternationalVolunteerDay, we celebrate the extraordinary impact of volunteers supporting migrants and communities across IOM operations. Your dedication, solidarity and compassion make a real difference every day.

For people with disabilities, inaccessible services deepen exclusion. I'm proud of the incredible work of our teams in #Nigeria and across the region to ensure displaced persons living with disabilities can reclaim their dignity. #AccessibilityForAll 🔗news.un.org/en/story/2025/…

Living with a disability in #Nigeria has not stopped Shiminenge from forming an association that advocates for inclusion. During the #16DaysOfActivism, her leadership shows how courage is the first step to creating safe spaces. Read more here: iom.int/ZAe

Gender-based violence affects us all. It disrupts lives, shatters futures, and weakens entire communities. Every action counts: support survivors, challenge harmful norms, and join forces to build a region free from violence. #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBV

When we invest in safety, dignity, and respect, we ensure that women and girls on the move are protected at every step of their migration journey. Together we can build a world where every journey begins and ends in safety. #16DaysOfActivism

It was a true privilege to meet His Holiness Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex. We spoke of solidarity, dignity, and the urgent need to save lives. Every life lost is a call to act, with compassion and courage.

Energized by discussions on regional integration and trade in Africa at #ARF2025. My message is clear: when borders become bridges for opportunity rather than barriers, we unlock human potential. We must make regional integration in #Africa a reality.

Honoured to begin today my role as AU Commissioner for ESTI. Committed to advancing Agenda 2063, SDG 4 & Africa’s transformation through quality education & innovation Grateful to God, Burundi and AU Member States for the trust. Ready to serve with humility, urgency and vision

As #UNGA80 continues, I was honored to open a roundtable on solutions to internal displacement with leaders from CAR, Somalia & Switzerland. IOM is driving action - government-led, data-backed, and shaped by those most affected. The path is clear. Let’s walk it together.

Great discussion with Amb. Mario Abbas, General Yusuf Ali and representatives of @IITA_CGIAR at our country office last week. We explored opportunities for collaboration in empowering communities and driving sustainable development in North-East🇳🇬. Progress through partnerships
