A delight to meet with Rural Electrification Agency @TheREANigeria chief Abba Aliyu @abbaaliyu_ REA is improving the lives of millions and finding solutions for forcible displaced communities. Power means access to education, healthcare and jobs - a pathway to #solutions.

The role of @WFP_UNHAS πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡³remains critical in #NigeriaπŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ Their air services allow the UN, NGOs, donors & devt agencies safely access and operate in insecure, hard-to-reach areas. Consequently, life-saving aid can reach forcibly displaced conflict-affected communities rapidly. πŸ™πŸΌ

"Today, we visited one of the six farm locations spanning over 600 hectares of land, cultivated through the collective efforts of 210 cooperatives formed by more than 4,000 household leaders. This inspiring achievement showcases the resilience and determination of our people in rebuilding livelihoods and fostering food security. We also launched the Durable Solutions Initiative for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), a transformative step toward sustainable recovery, reintegration, and long-term development. This remarkable partnership between the Benue State Government, the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, international partners, and other MDAs is a model for impactful collaboration. We deeply appreciate the commitment of His Excellency, Governor Fr. Hyacinth Alia, whose leadership continues to inspire progress and hope for Benue State. Together, we are building a brighter and more inclusive future."

One of the highlights at the #CalabarCarnival2024 was when @EUinNigeria chief @GautierMignot2 met with Cameroonian #refugees. Refugees spoke of the need to accelerate their socio-economic inclusion. That they don’t want handouts. We all need to work together to make this happen.

So proud that the @unhcrnigeria Staff Association and colleagues care for our support staff at our office. It would be difficult to operate without them. They always look out for our safety and welfare with a smile. Today we celebrated them at the end-of-year-get-together.
