Description: Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country. It is also located at the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers, which flow into the Gulf of Guinea through a large delta on which several major cities sit. Most of the country receives substantial precipitation during the rainy season, and floods in both rural and urban areas are not uncommon. As a result, Nigeria reported the highest number of disaster displacements in Africa between 2009 and 2023 with 8.7 million movements or a fifth of the continental total.
