Military, NEMA Collaborate on Humanitarian Operation in
North-East
The Theatre Commander Operation Lafiya Dole, Major General
Benson Akinroluyo has assured the National Emergency Management
Agency (NEMA) of continued cooperation and support in the conduct
of emergency and humanitarian Operations in the North East
theatre.
Gen Akinroluyo gave the assurance today when he received the
Zonal Coordinator NEMA, Mr Bashir Garga during a courtesy visit to
the Headquarters Theatre Command in Maiduguri.
Noting that NEMA is inevitable and very vital in the management
of emergency and humanitarian crisis, the Theatre Commander urged
the agency not to relent in giving succour to the victims of
terrorism and insurgency, as well as Internally Displaced Persons
(IDPs) in the North East theatre by catering for their humanitarian
needs.
Speaking during the visit, the Zonal Coordinator, who lauded the
troops of Operation Lafiya Dole for their sacrifice in the fight
against terrorism and insurgency, pledged to sustain the synergy
between NEMA and Operation Lafiya Dole in the conduct of its
activities. He added that the troops had provided the requisite
support enabling the agency to access liberated areas and troubled
spots to carry out humanitarian as well as search and rescue
operations.
The Theatre Commander and the Zonal Coordinator both expressed
desire to explore new areas of cooperation to foster their
operations.
Please disseminate this information to the general public

Thank you for your kind cooperation.
