NEMA sets strategic direction with 2025-2029 Plan
The National Emergency Management Agency is charting a bold new course with the development of a strategic plan, aimed at aligning with evolving challenges and international best practices.
The director-general of NEMA, Zubaida Umar, disclosed this while declaring open a stakeholders’ validation workshop on Friday in Abuja.
”The process of developing the strategic plan has been consultative and evidence-informed.
”It was necessitated by the urgent realities facing our country – from climate-related disasters, insecurity, displacement, and public health emergencies to the increasing demand for effective coordination and accountability in our humanitarian efforts,” she said.
According to her, this is the first time the agency has begun to develop a document covering such a period.
Ms Umar added that the plan was to increase demand for effective coordination and accountability in the country’s humanitarian efforts.
The NEMA boss affirmed her commitment to strengthening the agency’s operational capacity and efficiency to respond to the nation’s pressing challenges.
The workshop featured presentations from Umesi Emenike, director of human resources management, and active contributions from NEMA directors and key disaster management stakeholders.
