NEMA Underscores Shift To Structured Recovery As Shettima inaugurates Tudun Biri Resettlement



The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA)  has said that the commissioning of the Tudun Biri Resettlement Scheme in Kaduna State reflects the Federal Government’s transition from emergency relief to structured post-conflict recovery.

The Director-General of NEMA, Mrs Zubaida Umar, stated this on Friday at the inauguration of the Resettlement Scheme for Persons Impacted by Conflict (RSPIC) in Igabi Local Government Area.

Umar, who chairs the Project Implementation Unit, said the intervention demonstrates a deliberate focus on planned resettlement, livelihood restoration and social reintegration of displaced persons.

She said the project, coordinated by the Office of the Vice President, followed technical assessments and consultations after the Dec. 3, 2023 drone incident that caused casualties and displacement in Tudun Biri community.

According to her, the Kaduna component of RSPIC includes several housing sites, with Tudun Biri delivering 133 housing units, following the conversion of 10 units into an education facility.

Umar said the project required extensive inter-agency coordination to address logistical and site-specific challenges, describing it as a governance-driven response to restore stability and reduce vulnerability.

She urged beneficiaries to maintain the facilities and promote peaceful coexistence, while commending President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima and the Kaduna State Government for policy support and coordination.

Earlier, Vice-President Kashim Shettima inaugurated the resettlement scheme, comprising housing units, educational facilities and supporting infrastructure, describing it as the fulfilment of a commitment made to the affected community.

Shettima recalled that President Tinubu had directed the commencement of the resettlement following the 2023 incident, noting that the scheme was executed under RSPIC to provide durable recovery solutions.

He said the intervention reflects the Federal Government’s resolve to respond decisively to humanitarian conflicts and internal displacement, adding that similar projects are ongoing in Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Niger, Katsina and Benue states.

The Vice-president commended Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna State for what he described as constructive partnership and inclusive governance in the implementation of the project.

In his remarks, Sani expressed appreciation to the Federal Government for the intervention, saying it reinforced the centrality of citizens’ dignity in governance.

Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mrs Aisha Haruna and Mr Solomon John thanked the Federal Government for the resettlement, describing it as a step towards restoring normalcy in the community.
