NSCIA Applauds FG Over Creation Of Humanitarians Ministry
The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, has commended the federal government on the decision to create the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management to coordinate interventions in the given areas.
NSCIA disclosed this on Saturday in a statement signed by its Head of Public Affairs Mr Aselemi Ibrahim, in Abuja.
He said,
”It is our view that there is a strong relationship between poverty and
insecurity, this view is reinforced by the saying that a hungry man is an angry
man.
”We therefore urge government to provide resources for the ministry to
actualise the needed interventions to make life more meaningful to Displaced
Persons and the less privilege.”
The
group urged the Federal Government to take concrete steps towards reversing the
ugly trend of kidnappings and banditry in the country.
Ibrahim
said the council has critically assessed the state of the nation during its 7th
expanded general purpose committee meeting and expressed concern over the
spread of kidnappings, banditry and bloodletting in the country.
He said NSCIA therefore advised the federal government, security agencies and
relevant stakeholders to redouble their efforts towards reversing the ugly
trend.
Ibrahim, however, urged Nigerians to desist from spreading hate speech and fake
news in the name of freedom of speech.
He said the council urged Nigerians to exercise restrain over alleged
demolition of a Mosque in Rivers as relevant stakeholders were handling the
matter with the State Government.
He said the council also advised Muslim women to always exercise their rights
of wearing their hijab.
