By Nkechi Eze

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), led by Director General Mrs. Zubaida Umar, has initiated a nationwide fire awareness campaign. This effort targets a reduction in fire outbreaks during the harmattan season by collaborating with stakeholders and educating communities on prevention and response techniques.

The campaign, implemented through NEMA’s Zonal Territorial and Operations Offices, is being conducted in collaboration with the Federal and State Fire Services. A key component of the initiative is the training of Emergency Management Volunteers (EMVs) at the grassroots level. These volunteers will be equipped with practical knowledge and skills to prevent and manage fire emergencies, addressing the increasing prevalence of fire incidents during the dry harmattan period.

Recognizing the rising cases of tanker fires, NEMA is also focusing special attention on tanker drivers and related stakeholders. Through targeted sensitization programs, these drivers will receive essential training on fire safety, including preventive practices and emergency response techniques. Additionally, the campaign extends to market associations, local businesses, and other stakeholders, fostering widespread adoption of fire prevention measures.

Speaking about the campaign, the Director General NEMA Mrs. Zubaida Umar highlighted the urgency of proactive measures during the harmattan season, which often poses heightened fire risks. She emphasized that the campaign aims to promote a culture of disaster prevention to protect lives, property, and livelihoods. 

she said the nationwide sensitization effort is a reflection of the commitment by NEMA to empower communities and working collaboratively with critical stakeholders such as tanker drivers, market leaders, and grassroots volunteers. 

The DG of NEMA emphasized the need for a collective effort in heeding disaster warnings, preparing for, and responding to emergencies to minimize loss of life and property.

NEMA’s initiative demonstrates its commitment to creating resilient communities by promoting prevention, providing training and fostering collaborative efforts.
