Nigeria: Conflict – LTS Situation Report (Telecoms Area) #112 – Reporting period: April 2026

Country: Nigeria Sources: Emergency Telecommunications Cluster, World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. Led by the World Food Programme (WFP), the Logistics & Telecommunications Sector (LTS) was activated in North-East Nigeria in November 2016 in response to the protection crisis. LTS (telecoms area) Nigeria Situation Reports are issued monthly. All references to ‘LTS’ in this report refer specifically to the telecoms area of the sector. Summary Points • Insecurity in Damboa, Banki, Damasak, and Monguno is driving displacement and straining response capacity, while an April US–Nigeria Humanitarian Fund (NHF) disbursement has brought more humanitarian actors into deep-field locations, increasing demand for LTS services. The LTS is managing the higher load by enforcing strict connectivity security measures, including restricting coverage to humanitarian hubs and verifying all users with IOM. • Due to continued funding gaps, the LTS is working with WFP to finalise a 2026 cost sharing transition plan. The plan, which outlines how priority services can be sustained with reduced resources, will be submitted to the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) and then the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) for collective planning. • The LTS sustained uninterrupted security communications across 12 operational areas, supporting 1, 628 staff from 16 UN agencies and 36 NGOs through its VHFradio network. Targeted maintenance at key sites, including the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) master repeater site and the Maiduguri Security Operations Centre (SOC), kept the system fully operational throughout the month.
