MIGNEX Case Study Brief NGA2 - Migration and development dynamics in Awe, Nigeria

Description

Awe is a long-standing migration destination for agricultural workers across Nigeria, yet livelihoods and mobility are increasingly impacted by conflict, erosion, and flooding.

Key Takeaways

  • Most young adults (80%) grew up in Awe, the rest (20%) are internal in-migrants from elsewhere in Nigeria.
  • Out-migration is uncommon. Most young adults (84%) expect to stay in Nigeria over the next five years, the majority of whom (75%) expect to stay in Awe.
  • When people do leave, it is largely to other areas of Nigeria. One-third (35%) of young adults know of someone who has migrated internally in the past five years – often for farming in areas considered more peaceful.
