The Independent Broadcasting Association of Nigeria (IBAN) expresses its deepest condolences and solidarity with the government and people of Maiduguri and the entire North-East region of Nigeria as they grapple with the devastating flood that has created a humanitarian disaster that has severely impacted lives and communities.
This disaster has brought immense suffering to many families, displacing thousands and creating significant challenges in terms of food, shelter, and medical assistance. We acknowledge the heroic efforts of the government, aid agencies, and the people on the ground who are working tirelessly to alleviate the situation.
As broadcasters, we stand committed to ensuring that the plight of those affected remains in the public consciousness. In times like these, the role of media is vital in amplifying the voices of the vulnerable and ensuring that the necessary resources and assistance reach those in need. We urge all broadcasters in Nigeria to continue highlighting the scale of this tragedy and mobilizing public and private support.
Call for International Support
In this critical hour, we call upon the international community, humanitarian organizations, donor agencies, and all well-meaning individuals across the globe to extend their support to Nigeria in addressing this pressing crisis. The scale of this disaster requires a global response, and any form of assistance—be it financial, material, or technical expertise—will go a long way in bringing relief to the affected population.
We believe that through collective efforts, we can help alleviate the suffering of our fellow Nigerians in Maiduguri and ensure a swift recovery from this catastrophe.
Our Commitment
IBAN will continue to play its part in disseminating information and raising awareness about this disaster, ensuring that those in need are not forgotten. We pledge to use our platforms to drive advocacy for sustained local and international efforts aimed at mitigating the effects of this disaster and rebuilding affected communities.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims, their families, and all the people of Maiduguri as they navigate through these trying times.
