Nigeria: FEMD Takes the IDDRR Campaign To Schools

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has enjoined Secondary Schools in the FCT to establish Disaster Management Clubs.

This is aimed at preparing the school children against any kind of emergency.

The Ag. Director-General of the FCT Emergency Management Department (FEMD), Engr Abdulrahman Mohammed, made this appeal when the Agency took the campaign to the Model Secondary School, Maitama in commemoration of the 2024 International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction,( IDDRR).

The Director-General, who was represented at the occasion by the Head of Forecasting, Response, and Mitigation of FEMD, Mr. Mark Nyam, said this would equip the students with the basic skills needed to mitigate the impact of disasters in their schools and communities.
