The United Kingdom’s Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has announced plans to allocate N4,223,496,406.14 as a grant for the implementation of a 19-month project called ‘Strengthening Protection Services and Resilience’ in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states in Nigeria.
This project is designed to provide assistance to 37,500 individuals, including women, children, and marginalized groups, particularly internally displaced persons, returnees, and host communities who have been disproportionately affected by years of violent conflict.

Dr. Hussaini Abdu, the Country Director of CARE Nigeria, disclosed this development in a statement released on Friday.
The project will span five local government areas, including Borno (Jere and Bama), Adamawa (Yola North), and Yobe (Potiskum and Gujba). This initiative is expected to contribute to enhancing protection services and building resilience in these conflict-affected regions.
