FG’ll Engage More With Stakeholders To Deepen Humanitarian Responses


Vice President Kashim Shettima has restated the firm resolve of the administration of President Bola Tinubu to address humanitarian situations across Nigeria.

This, according to him, entailed that the administration would continue to engage more with critical stakeholders, including development partners, in tackling grey areas in humanitarian responses across the country.

Shettima stated this yesterday when he received, on a courtesy visit, a delegation from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Nigeria led by Ms Doris El Doueihy, to the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The Vice President said Nigeria, under the leadership of the President, would continue to nurture existing relationships with key stakeholders like the ICRC.

He said: “It is only when we continue engaging with organisations like the Red Cross that we can address some of the grey areas in our humanitarian responses across the country.”

The Vice President commended the ICRC for its professionalism and commitment to the ideals of a peaceful and just society, especially in areas plagued by armed conflict and related vices.
