With almost 200 million inhabitants, Nigeria is Africa's most populous country. The over 500 languages spoken in the country are a manifestation of its cultural and ethnic diversity. However, despite being one of the world's largest oil producers and one of Africa's largest economies, an extremely large number of Nigerians live in extreme poverty. In addition to long standing tensions along ethnic and religious lines, terrorist insurgency in northern Nigeria have marred the country's development.
Years of instability provoked by attacks and kidnappings by Boko Haram in north-eastern Nigeria have resulted in widespread displacement and malnutrition.
The Boko Haram insurgency has morphed into a serious humanitarian emergency affecting millions across the region. More than 7 million people in northern Nigeria are displaced and in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
