Tinubu approves establishment of new disaster relief fund
President Bola Tinubu has approved the establishment of a new Disaster Relief Fund to strengthen Nigeria’s humanitarian response system.
Vice-President Kashim Shettima announced this on Thursday at the launch of the Humanitarian Supply Chain Management – Partnership for Localisation Project, held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The vice president was represented by the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Office of the Vice President, Senator Ibrahim Hadejia.
Shettima explained that the fund would provide immediate assistance to disaster victims nationwide with a view to complementing the broader localisation framework.
“Inaction is simply not an option, and the cost of failing to address these crises at their roots will be devastating.
“Localisation is not merely about placing local actors at the centre of humanitarian efforts; it is the key to a more inclusive, resilient future for Nigeria,” the VP said.
Shettima said the initiative, which aligns with the Nigeria Localisation Framework, seeks to empower local actors and leverage local resources to address the country’s growing humanitarian needs.
He said climate change, coupled with global economic crises, has deepened the nation’s complex humanitarian situation.
