Techfugees' Chapter in Nigeria was launched in November 2019. It's the second Chapter in Africa after the one in Kenya. As a result of the ongoing conflicts from armed groups like Boko Haram and military counter-insurgency operations, Nigeria hosts more than 2 millions internally displaced persons (Data UNHCR, 2020), but also refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons. The team, based in between Lagos and Abuja is working on fostering access to employment for those individuals.
