The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has issued a stern warning to Nigerians against activities that could lead to man-made disasters. The Commandant-General of the corps, Ahmed Audi, gave the warning on Tuesday in Abuja.
Audi said that the Corps had consequently launched a nationwide campaign against building on waterways and indiscriminate disposal of wastes in water channels. He said the sensitisation programme was a precautionary attempt to avert flood disasters that might emerge across the country as rainfall intensifies. “This advocacy campaign which began at the NSCDC headquarters, down to some Area Councils in Abuja, is a proactive measure to mitigate against flooding associated with rainy seasons.
The CG added that the Corps was saddled with the statutory responsibility of disaster management and rescue operations, hence, a major reason why the campaign had become imperative to the Corps. “We engage in rescuing victims in the face of emergency and provide security for the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, during distribution of relief materials to victims or displaced persons,” he said.
