Disaster: NEMA harps on synergy among security agencies in rescue operations

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has called for a synergy among all security agencies participating in its rescue operations and other related activities.

The Managing Director of the agency, Mr Mustapha Maihaja, made the call on Wednesday when he visited the Disaster Rescue Unit of the 73 Battalion of the Nigerian Army at Janguza Barracks, Kano.

Maihaja, who was represented by the Director, Search and Rescue, Air Commodore Akugbe Iyamu, said there was need for all security agencies to work together for the success of their assignments.

“We have noticed that in addressing rescue operations, people do it with emotions by trying to help. So we have a disaster response plan,” he said.
