The National Orientation Agency, NOA, has sought areas of collaboration with the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons, to militate against actions that threaten peace and economic stability of the country.
NOA Zonal Director, North Central, Princess Priscilla Gondoalour stated this when she led her management team on a courtesy visit to the North Central Zonal office of National Commission for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons in Ilorin.
Princess Gondoalour emphasized that the mandate of the Commission is sensitive owing to the humanitarian activities it entails, but that efforts could be geared towards prevention of hostilities and value reorientation through synergy with NOA.
Princess Gondoalour maintained that incidences fuelling instability are more of man made than natural disaster and stressed that aggressive campaign and sensitization on sanctity of life, rights of individuals, would curb violence.
Earlier, the North Central Zonal Director of the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons, Hajia Jummai Ahmed, explained that the commission which was established in 1989, became operational in Kwara in 2013, with core mandates to protect, rehabilitate and resettle IDPs, refugees, asylum seekers, migrants and stateless persons.
Earlier, the Deputy Zonal Director, Bashiru Yusuf, who gave a breakdown of the various activities of the Commission, said it also discourages illegal migration which exposes citizens to all sorts of harm including organ harvesting, exploitation and death.
The NOA delegation include the State Director, Alhaji Dare Abdulganiyu, and Pastor Folorunsho Williams of the Zonal Directorate.
