NEMA, WORLD BANK GROUP STRENGTHEN COLLABORATION ON DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the World Bank Group have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening collaboration in disaster risk management, resilience building and emergency preparedness in Nigeria.

This followed a working visit by a delegation from the World Bank Group, led by its Senior Disaster Risk Management Specialist, Mr. Francis Nkoka, to NEMA Headquarters in Abuja on Thursday, 5th November 2026.

The visit was in furtherance of the existing partnership between NEMA and the World Bank Group, aimed at enhancing institutional capacity, promoting disaster risk reduction and strengthening coordinated approaches to disaster management.

The Director-General of NEMA, Mrs. Zubaida Umar, was represented by the Director of Disaster Risk Reduction, Dr. Saheed Akiode, who led a team of NEMA officials in a technical meeting with the visiting delegation.

The engagement provided an opportunity for both institutions to review existing areas of cooperation and explore additional initiatives that would support NEMA's mandate of safeguarding lives, livelihoods and communities against disasters.

We convened the National Emergency Coordination Forum (NECF) to conduct an indepth review of ongoing flood response efforts across Nigeria, strengthen inter-agency coordination against emerging public health threats, and harmonise preparedness measures ahead of the anticipated 2026/2027 El Niño phenomenon yesterday.

The meeting brought together key stakeholders from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), security institutions, humanitarian organisations and development partners to assess emerging disaster risks and strengthen coordinated preparedness and response.

Effective disaster management requires a proactive, multisectoral approach anchored on early warning, preparedness, risk reduction, timely response and sustainable recovery.

[Zubaida Umar @TheZubaidaUmar]

Every disaster eventually arrives at someone's door. Today, I urge every family to know your risk, have a plan, and act early on warnings.

Together, let us make every Nigerian home a place of safety.

Happy International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction!

@itz_smils Sadly not everyone understands intelligence itself.

I met with the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, at the Nigerian Air Force Headquarters, Abuja. Our discussion centred on strengthening national preparedness and response to disaster and other emergencies.

At @nemanigeria, inter-agency collaboration remains a top priority, given how the growing complexity of emergencies demands a coordinated approach that brings together the nation's available capabilities and resources.

While we have enjoyed longstanding support from @NigAirForce, we are now working to deepen collaboration with the Force’s Disaster Response Units to ensure timely mobilization and deployment whenever military support to civil authorities is required during emergencies.
