Nema (National Emergency Management Agency)

The National Emergency Management Agency has received another batch of 160 stranded Nigerians from Libya. The coordinator of Lagos territorial office of NEMA, confirmed the development to newsmen on Friday, February 15, in Lagos.

More than 27,000 people have been killed in the three north-eastern states, according to United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), while thousands of women and girls have been abducted.

Some of the internally displaced person who spoke on the matter said trouble started in the camp when officials of the International Committee on Red Cross (ICRC) visited the location to distribute food and relief items.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has distributed relief materials to 1,000 victims of armed bandits attack in four communities of Kaiama local government area of Kwara state in the north central zone.

While I would agree with that position, I am also of the opinion that beyond the management drive, there must have been a resuscitation of the work ethics in the agency which was at its lowest ebb some five to six years back.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) declared that it has received another batch of 193 stranded Nigerians from Libya. The returnees arrived at the MMIA Cargo Wing, Lagos by 8.32pm on Friday, December 7.
