A Saudi Arabian humanitarian agency, King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) has announced a donation of food items to be distributed by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to 7750 households of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in three states in Nigeria.

NEMA in a statement signed by Mr. Manzo Ezekiel, Head of, the Press Unit, on Friday said that a team from KSrelief led by Mr. Basheer Saleem Al-Sharari disclosed this during a visit to the headquarters of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in Abuja.

Receiving the team, Director General NEMA Mustapha Habib Ahmed commended the humanitarian agency for the relief donation. He recalled that KSrelief had previously donated food items that were distributed by NEMA to many households affected by insurgency in Borno and Yobe States and banditry in Zamfara State.

He said the gesture by the humanitarian agency evidences good friendship and brotherhood between Nigeria and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as the trustworthy partnership between NEMA and KSrelief. He assured that NEMA will continue to ensure the proper distribution of relief items meant for persons in need, especially those affected by disasters in the country.

In the same vein, the Director General NEMA Mustapha Habib Ahmed requested KSrelief to also extend support to Nigeria in the area of flood risk management given the devastating impacts of the 2022 flood that affected many communities and predictions of a high probable repeat of the last years’ experience.

The Director of Planning Research and Forecasting NEMA Hajiya Fatima Suleiman Kasim explained that a total of 7,750 households (i.e. 46,500 persons) have been profiled to benefit from the latest KSrelief food donation to be distributed by NEMA in Borno, Yobe and Kano States.

"What else can be more humiliating than the embarrassing drama that is playing out now at the ObiDatti rally in Ogun State?"

Omo-Agege And The BVAS Brouhaha

  The Delta State Governorship election holds on Saturday, March 11, 2023, and one of the strong contenders is Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege. To taint the governorship hopeful for next Saturday’s election, a video online linking Senator Ovie Omo-Agege to kicking against the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) was in order. He was opposed to the introduction of the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) because of technical glitches that would defeat the intended positive purpose of the system. We could all recall its first outing during a by-election in Delta State on September 10, 2021, when, according to reports, some presiding officers complained that the machine had difficulties capturing the thumbs and faces of some of the voters, especially the elderly.
