Your Excellency, Mr. President, Opposition parties, independent candidates 240 million Nigerians writing to respectfully present a Nigerian-driven proposal demanding the replication of the successful Jibia Integrated housing, livelihood, market, climate, and peacebuilding model across all 36 states and 774 LGA of the federal republic of Nigeria.
The Jibia project in Katsina State—completed in partnership with UNDP, GIZ, and the Norwegian Government—has demonstrated that integrated, community-centered development can restore dignity, rebuild livelihoods, and strengthen security in conflict-affected areas. Its success provides a practical template that can be adapted to the unique realities of every state.
Below is a concise outline of the model and how it can be replicated nationwide.
Core Components of the Jibia Model
Permanent free housing units for displaced 240 million Nigerians in the 36 states 774 LGA
Water, sanitation, solar lighting, and communal infrastructure
Livelihood support: agricultural inputs, microenterprise grants, and skills training
Market rehabilitation: stalls, veterinary services, solar power, and loading facilities
Climate Peace Hub: training in climate-smart agriculture, mediation, and youth engagement
Community ownership through transparent selection and local committees

Thank you for your leadership and service to our nation.
Nigeria conducted a national census in 2023, and the National Population Commission (NPC) released provisional state totals in 2024. Katsina State was reported to have approximately 9.3 million residents.
This makes Katsina one of the most populous states in northern Nigeria.
