Borno hosts over 80 percent of the nearly two million people displaced from their homes by a conflict that has spread to parts of neighbouring Cameroon, Niger and Chad. Despite years of aid provision, many camps and communities lack basic amenities. (Photo by Audu Marte / AFP)
A new stabilisation and development master plan has been unfolded for the North East region to transform the insurgency-ravaged states of Borno, Adamawa, Bauchi, Taraba, Gombe and Yobe.
