Head of Programme Nigeria Abuja
About the Context
Nigeria continues to face a complex and protracted humanitarian crisis driven by armed conflict, insecurity, climate-related shocks, displacement, and economic challenges.
The Northeast remains the epicenter of the crisis, where years of conflict have displaced millions of people and disrupted access to basic services, livelihoods, and protection. In addition, increasing levels of violence and displacement in the Northwest and North Central regions, alongside recurrent flooding and food insecurity, have further exacerbated protection and humanitarian needs across the country.
The 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan estimates that 5.9 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance.
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has been operating in Nigeria since 2015, delivering humanitarian assistance and durable solutions to conflict-affected and displaced populations. NRC works across multiple core competencies, including Education, Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA), Shelter, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and Protection from Violence. Through direct implementation and partnerships, NRC supports displaced persons, returnees, and vulnerable host communities to meet their immediate needs, strengthen resilience, and pursue long-term recovery and self-reliance.
NRC is committed to principled humanitarian action, safeguarding, accountability to affected populations, and ensuring that assistance reaches those most in need.
