At the Kadira Internally Displaced Persons’ camp in the heart of Jigawa, little children moved around in groups, unperturbed by the presence of strangers within the camp. Some of them looked forlorn and tired, in expectation of a return to normal life outside of the IDP camp.
The official said the nomadic schools are Kaiwari nomadic, Tsamiya-Goma nomadic, fandum Fulani nomadic, Matarmi nomadic, Marawaji nomadic and Rugar Abdu Burga nomadic school. Others are Lamido Ware, Katintin, Jamar Jiyan, Meleri, Kokura, Guduri, Rugar Iliyasu, Sunamu, and Yabal nomadic schools.At the IDP camp in Baturiya, many of the nomadic school children can be seen wandering around, rearing animals.
The Senior Education Manager of UNICEF, Michael Banda, noted that in Jigawa State, there are missed opportunities for learning as 27 schools are flooded, while as many as 18 schools are being used as IDP camps. In a recent assessment by UNICEF, the official said only 25 IDP camps and two communities were covered.
“On child protection, UNICEF is working with partners to provide community-based psycho-social support to affected families, and prevention and response to violence and abuse of children including Sexual and Gender-based Violence,” he said.In addition to its devastating effect on school children, a major impact of the flooding incident in Jigawa is mostly felt in the area of maternal health.
One of the leaders of the displaced people at Karnaya camp in Dutse, Falalu Ado, said 25 women had deliveries in the camp without being attended to by trained health personnel, adding that all the children were not immunised against killer diseases.
