| Description: | In recent years internal forced migration caused by armed conflicts and insurgent activities has been a global problem affecting many countries around the world and Nigeria has been a major contributor to the global number of these migrants'. This thesis focused on the geographical analysis of internal forced migrants in formal camps in Adamawa state Northeast Nigeria. The following objectives were set; to profile and characterize internal forced migrants' in the study area, to explore the spatial trend and temporal pattern of internal forced migration from 2014 – 2017, to examine the causative factors of internal forced migration and to evaluate the problems and challenges faced by the migrants' in the study camps. To achieve these objectives the study adopts the descriptive quantitative research approach. Results were analyzed with both primary and secondary data using descriptive statistics, bivariate cross tabulation, chi-square test, Pearson's correlation analysis and Mann Whitney U test in SPSS 24 and GIS analysis – statistical and flow mapping – was achieved using ArcGIS 10.3 software package. The primary data was collected with the aid of a questionnaire where 360 respondents' were examined and the secondary data was collected from International Organization for Migration (IOM, Nigeria). The study reveals that more than half of the IDPs in the study area are women and children and 72.8 percent flee their residential areas in 2014 while 54.2 percent arrived at their present shelter in 2015. Similarly findings from the GIS analysis have revealed an uneven distribution of formal camps in the study area and an inconsistent migration flow pattern with majority of the camp dwellers from local governments in Adamawa and Borno state. However, it was found that there is an evidence of strong correlation among the push and pull forces of involuntary migration at P ≤ 0.01 with an average rvalue = 0.5. On the other hand, the study revealed that majority of the respondents' avers that they are not experiencing most of the problems and challenges examined in the study. Finally, the study recommends to the government of urgently attend to, address and solve the issues behind high numbers of internal forced migrants' in the country as a whole. This study contributes in filing the knowledge gaps in geographical and internal forced migration studies, thus a roadmap for future studies.,Ph.D. |
