The north-eastern part of Nigeria  is the worst affected by the Boko Haram insurgency,this  continues to generate the displacement of people across international  borders and within the country. In addition to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) affected by the conflict, IDPs displaced by natural disasters and community clashes have also been identified in the north and central parts of the country to be the causes of dispacement of people in Nigeria .

It is with this background that the provision of the Mobile Library Facility to IDP camps is considered important, as JPF seems to be the only Organization providing such a service in Nigeria.
