The World Bank has approved $300 million in financing for Nigeria to strengthen resilience and expand access to essential services for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and their host communities in Northern Nigeria.
In a statement on Monday, World Bank Nigeria said the approval, granted on August 7, 2025, will fund the Solutions for the Internally Displaced and Host Communities Project (SOLID), targeting selected Local Government Areas (LGAs) most affected by conflict-driven displacement.
The project is expected to benefit up to 7.4 million people, including about 1.3 million IDPs, by adopting an integrated development strategy aligned with Nigeria’s long-term development vision.
