The Humanitarian actors will need the Nigerian Govt to give the green light for such missions. It will also depend on the capacity of the crew to conduct such Ops. The Nigerian Air Force should have deployed helicopters while the Navy and Army provide boats

Climate security also means ensuring public infrastructure are able to function during extreme weather events like the recent floods. It also involves providing emergency services with ghe capacity and equipment to respond effectively.

The flood disaster in Maiduguri can be attributed to several factors including - Unusual high volume of rainfall - Weak capacity of Alau Dam -Weak natural/man made drainage systems -Poor Govt response before & after the disaster

It’s disappointing that the Nigerian Air Force is not providing the kind of assistance that is needed. The Army appears to have mobilized resources to support recovery. Some boats are also participating unclear if it’s Army or Navy. The Army amphibious unit in Alau Dam will be useful

The next National Security Strategy from the ONSA needs to include Climate Security. The goals - Resilient National assets like ports/dams - Prevent/Respond to Resource conflict - Prepare relevant bodies for domestic and external climate security risks - ETC

You will understand the importance of climate action when you look at it from an economic and devt point of view For instance, Nigeria can work towards becoming a leader in the R&D/production of renewable energy agricultural machines or key supplier of raw materials &components

Pray for Maiduguri 🤲🏼

I noticed people are not asking what the police are doing to support the flood victims in Maiduguri 🤔

Thanks so much for sharing these images Murtala , I once took an aerial video of the Dam but can’t find it now. it’s bigger than how people think it is, it’s like a whole town. It’s no wonder it filled up Maiduguri . BOSG&NEDC priorities after this emergency should be fixing

We've been wading through water for the past 2 hours to reach stranded individuals, as network connectivity is down and some people remain trapped. Our team is working tirelessly to provide aid and support despite the challenging conditions.🆘🆘
