The Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the Nigeria Communications Commission
(NCC), Professor Umar Garba Dambatta has
charged the Centre for Crisis Communication (CCC)
to come up with effective resettlement strategies
that will assist the government in managing the
post-crisis period in the north east.
Professor Dambatta stated this when the
Management of the Centre led by its Executive
Secretary, Air Commodore Yusuf Anas (Rtd), paid
him a courtesy visit in his office.
According to him, apart from the debilitating
condition which the hapless people who were
caught up in the crisis in various parts of the north
east were currently facing, a more formidable
challenge will even come in managing the post-
crisis resettlement and reintegration of the people
in the affected areas.
“Am interested in the kind of intervention you
provide and I believe that there are certain voids
which organizations like yours can fill in terms of
managing the different levels of crisis in our
country,” he said.
”Your Centre should be able to come up with
effective resettlement strategies that will assist
government in managing the post-crisis period in
the north east.
”You certainly have a big work to do in addressing
the problem of the hapless Nigerians caught up in
the Boko Haram crisis in the north east and
elsewhere”, he added.
Earlier in his remarks, the Executive Secretary of
the Centre for Crisis Communication, Air
Commodore Yusuf Anas (rtd) said they were at the
Commission to brief the EVC on its activities and to
also seek areas of collaboration with the NCC.
