To protect internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other vulnerable individuals in the state, the Benue State Emergency Management Agency (BSEMA) has partnered with the State Bureau of Homeland Security and Benue Digital Infrastructure Company.
This was revealed by BSEMA’s executive secretary, James Iorpuu, on Monday when he and the partners signed a Memorandum of Understanding or MoU.
He said that the overwhelming difficulties IDPs in host communities confront made the MoU necessary.
In his own words:
“This partnership is therefore timely, as it seeks to integrate advanced digital tools into our operations, enabling us to better serve the people. Today, we are setting the stage for a new era in emergency management and humanitarian response.
“This initiative reflects our shared commitment to aligning our services with international standards, thereby positioning Benue as a model for other states in Nigeria.”
According to him, the cooperation is appropriate as it intends to improve the agency’s ability to help displaced people and the general public by incorporating cutting-edge digital technologies into its operations.
