When families can grow their own food, children have a better chance to thrive. Through Mothers' and Fathers' Clubs, @nrcs_ng, with @ifrc support, is helping communities start backyard gardens and poultry farms to improve nutrition and build stronger futures.
Big dreams start with safe spaces to learn and play.
Through the Children Affected by Armed Conflict (CAAC) project, @nrcs_ng and @ifrc, funded by @rodekorsnorge, have helped nearly 10,000 children return to school, build friendships and rediscover hope.
Honoured to join Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the leadership of @nrcs_ng and Red Cross Red Crescent Movement partners to commission the Nigerian Red Cross Society’s new headquarters in Abuja today. Congratulations on this important milestone!

Today I met with @curriealder, CLARE Programme Team Leader at IDRC, to discuss progress on the REBUMAA project funded by @IDRC_CRDI and @FCDOGovUK . We explored how anticipatory action research is helping people in Benin, Nigeria and Togo prepare for floods and build resilience.

With floods forecast from @nimetnigeria across 20+ states, @nrcs_ng teams are already helping communities prepare, reduce risks and protect lives and livelihoods. Thanks to @eu_echo and the Italian Government for supporting early action and stronger community resilience.
I see the scale of @nrcs_ng 's Malnutrition Emergency Appeal reaching over 250,000 households, screening children, and delivering life-saving nutrition support.
The need is great, but so is our impact.

Impressive work by staff and volunteers, whose dedication continues to reach and uplift communities in need.
Ramadan reminds us that giving is not just charity, it’s compassion in action. In this blessed month, every act of kindness brings hope to families in need and dignity to those struggling. Let’s share what we can and uplift one another.
Yesterday, I welcomed the REBUMAA Hamburg team to Nigeria. We had rich discussions on the impact of the REBUMAA project and how to scale up efforts, share best practices, and present our Anticipatory Action research findings to stakeholders and the scientific community.
Today I met with the visiting team from @FCDOGovUK and colleagues from @BritishRedCross. We discussed @IFRC’s Renewal 3.0, NSIF, EAPs and community resilience related long term engagements to explore collaboration & strengthen support for communities served by our volunteers.
For 2.5 days, we took a committed look at @ifrc’s Renewal 3.0, NSIF, & Way of Working, which are shaping a more agile humanitarian response.
The outcome is clear: renewed focus, domestic financial sustainability, stronger systems, & unwavering support to volunteers on frontlines
