From Uche Nnorom, Makurdi
Executive Secretary, Benue State Emergency Management Agency, BSEMA, Sir James Iorpuu has stressed that the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, UNHCR, provided a tangible expression of dedication to enhancing emergency response capabilities in the State.
The Executive Secretary stated this on Wednesday while receiving an operational vehicle by UNHCR to the agency.
He said in addition to the operational vehicle, the UNHCR has recently facilitated the recruitment of dedicated staff to manage not only the Cameroonian refugees at Ikyogen but also, all the Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, camps in the state, noting that the expansion of support is instrumental in ensuring that our response efforts are comprehensive, leaving no one behind.
“The collaboration between BSEMA and UNHCR exemplifies the profound impact that can be achieved through collective efforts. It is a shining example of how partnerships can transform challenges into opportunities, fostering hope, and rebuilding lives.
“I extend my deepest gratitude to UNHCR for their continuous support to the Benue State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA). Today, the donation of an operational vehicle signifies more than just a means of transportation.”
