The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has deepened collaboration with the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) to explore the use of modern technology in strengthening border security, disaster early-warning systems, and response capacity across Nigeria’s frontier communities.

The renewed engagement aims to harness cutting-edge technology, capacity building, and multi-agency coordination to improve situational awareness, rapid response, and community resilience in border regions that are often vulnerable to smuggling, insecurity, and cross-border public health risks.

The partnership was discussed during a meeting between NEMA’s Director General, Mrs. Zubaida Umar, and the Executive Secretary of BCDA, Dr. George Alabo Kelly, held at NEMA Headquarters in Abuja.

Also present was a delegation from Beijing Global Safety Technology Company Ltd (G-Safety), a China-based technology firm that accompanied the BCDA team.
