As a result of farmers fleeing violent attacks to villages in Northeast Nigeria, the state of Borno is having a food security crisis.

Maiduguri has become the centre of changes in northeastern Nigeria over the last decade, with the formation of Boko Haram contributing to instability in the region.

Around 3.8 million people will face critical food insecurity and around 7.7 million will need life saving humanitarian assistance in the region this year.
