Number of refugees in Nigeria 2000-2020

In 2020, Nigeria hosted 66.1 thousand refugees, the highest number registered in the last decades. Only at the beginning of the 1980s, the country was hosting more refugees. Nigeria represents an important link between the coast of West Africa and the trans-Saharan routes through Niger to North Africa. These routes are typically undertaken in an attempt to reach Europe.

2020年，尼日利亚接待了66.1千名难民，创下了近几十年来的最高记录。仅在20世纪80年代初，该国接待的难民数量曾超过此数。尼日利亚作为连接西非海岸与穿越尼日尔通往北非的撒哈拉沙漠地区的要道，扮演着至关重要的角色。这些路线通常被采取以图抵达欧洲。
