The Independent Broadcasting Association of Nigeria (IBAN) sends its deepest condolences and stands with the government and people of Maiduguri and the Northeast as they deal with the terrible floods that have caused a humanitarian disaster, affecting many lives and communities.
This disaster has caused immense suffering, forcing thousands from their homes and creating serious problems like food shortages, lack of shelter, and the need for medical help. We recognize the hard work of the government, aid workers, and local people who are doing all they can to help.
As broadcasters, we are committed to making sure the stories of those affected are heard. In times like this, the media plays a crucial role in giving a voice to those in need and ensuring help gets to them. We encourage all broadcasters in Nigeria to continue focusing on this disaster and rally support from the public and private sectors.
Call for International Support
At this critical time, we ask the international community, humanitarian organizations, donors, and all well-meaning individuals worldwide to help Nigeria in dealing with this crisis. This disaster requires a global response, and any kind of support—whether money, supplies, or expert knowledge—will help bring relief to those affected.
We believe that with everyone’s effort, we can ease the suffering of the people in Maiduguri and help them recover quickly.
Our Commitment
IBAN will continue to raise awareness about this disaster and make sure the affected people are not forgotten. We promise to use our platforms to advocate for ongoing local and international support to reduce the effects of this disaster and rebuild the affected communities.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and all the people of Maiduguri during this difficult time.
