The management of the herdsmen-farmers conflict-induced internal displacement in Nigeria was characterised by remote factors that affected the protection and assistance of internally displaced persons (IDPs). This qualitative study was conducted on 12 participants comprising humanitarian workers, IDPs, and lawmakers who were conversant with the persistent herdsmen farmers conflictinduced internal displacement. The study explored the inter-connected relationship among stakeholders within the humanitarian ecosystem. It found that though the herdsmen-farmers conflict led to mass displacement, remote factors such as unwillingness of government, data challenges, the undiplomatic approach of government in the management of the displacement failed to win support of other stakeholders and therefore, escalated the displacement crisis. The study concluded that while the conflict led to mass displacement of crop farmers, its poor management and poor interconnected relationship between stakeholders led to protracted displacement and lack of sustainable measures for the protection and assistance of the displaced persons. The paper recommends political will, collaboration and humanitarian diplomacy in managing conflict and assisting IDPs
