The Director General National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) Mustapha Habib Ahmed has advised stakeholders to brace up and prepare to mitigate against the likelihood of flood this year.
He gave the advice against the backdrop of the 2023 Seasonal Climate Prediction released last week by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency , which indicated that there will be normal to above-normal rainfall in some states this year.
Addressing the participants at the close of the International Disaster Management Executive Seminar for Nigerian Emergency Management Stakeholders organized by NEMA with facilitators from Bournemouth University Disaster Management Centre , Mustapha Habib Ahmed said the Agency has already begun its preparation as evidenced in the capacity training seminar.
While commending the course participants and resource persons for a robust engagement, he advised the Heads of SEMAs that participated at the seminar to cascade the knowledge gained to their various states. A team member from BUDMC Professor Lee Miles who spoke on behalf of the facilitators said the 5-day intense engagement covered very important and practical areas of disaster management that would benefit the nation.
