INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
The world over time has experienced several disasters, naturally ranging from floods, hurricanes, landslides, and others; and man-made like wars.
These tragedies have resulted in an increased number of people from their homes and means of livelihood, posing a difficult challenge to the world at large. At the beginning of 2007, there were an estimated 24.5 million people, hounded out of their homes by war or persecution, in at least 52 countries.
As outcasts in their own lands, they often have very limited legal or physical protection and face an uncertain future (UNHCR 2007), by the end of 2014 it was estimated 38.2 million IDPs worldwide, the highest level since 1989, and the first year for which statistics on IDPs are available. (“UNHCR – Global Trends –Forced Displacement in 2014”.UNHCR. 18 June 2015.).
It is very difficult to get accurate figures for IDPs because their population is not constant, IDPs may be returning home while others are fleeing, others periodically return to IDPs camp to the advantage of humanitarian aid. (IDMC 2006).
Africa remains the continent with the highest number of people who have been internally displaced. In 2011, IDMC (internal displacement monitoring center) monitored displaced persons in the sub-Saharan African countries.
There were an estimated 9.7 million IDPs existing in these countries, representing over a third of the world’s total internally displaced population. Having access to this IDP camp, it was discovered that this camp lacks essential services such as water, shelter, healthcare, and education (IDMC 2011).
Nigeria is not left out in the recurring conflict such as Boko-haram insurgences, ethnoreligious crises, etc., and natural disasters like landslides, earthquakes, floods, etc.
This has become a constant internal cankerworm plaguing Nigeria also for decades, and also responsible for the displacement of over 1.2 million of their victims (Dada, 2006).
