The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has launched its 2026 flood disaster response campaign amid looming flood threats in Rivers and 22 states across the country.
NEMA’s Director-General, Zubaida Umar, flagged off the exercise during a stakeholders’ engagement on Tuesday in Port Harcourt.
The campaign is themed “Strengthening Disaster Risk Governance for a Resilient Nigeria.”
Represented by the agency’s Acting Director, South-South Zonal Directorate, Eric Ebhodaghe, Mrs Umar said the campaign was designed to drive early and coordinated action to save lives and livelihoods before the imminent flood.
“The campaign further seeks to promote proactive disaster management through stronger institutions and define clearer responsibilities among stakeholders.
