90 NRCS VOLUNTEERS RECEIVE SAFER ACCESS TRAINING IN SOKOTO

Ninety volunteers of the Nigerian Red Cross Society, NRCS, Sokoto State Branch, have received training on the Safer Access Framework, SAF, with support from the International Committee of the Red Cross, ICRC.

The training, which took place from September 22nd to 29th, brought together volunteers from Sokoto North, Sokoto South and Wamakko Local Government Areas.

It was organized to enhance the volunteers’ knowledge and preparedness to safely carry out humanitarian activities, particularly in communities affected by sensitive or challenging situations.

The training focused on issues including personal and operational security, community acceptance, appropriate conduct, communication and responsible engagement with communities and other stakeholders.

The Safer Access Framework is designed to help National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies strengthen their ability to operate safely and effectively while responding to humanitarian needs in complex environments.

For the Nigerian Red Cross Society in Sokoto State, the training is considered important as volunteers frequently work with vulnerable populations and may face security challenges during field operations.

The programme also encouraged volunteers to uphold humanitarian principles, maintain public trust and take responsibility for their own safety and that of their colleagues while representing the Nigerian Red Cross Society.

The ICRC’s support forms part of its continued efforts to strengthen the capacity, preparedness and safety of humanitarian personnel and volunteers involved in humanitarian operations.

The Sokoto State Branch of the Nigerian Red Cross Society has expressed appreciation to the ICRC for its continued support and reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening the capacity of its volunteers to respond effectively to the needs of vulnerable communities.

*PRESS RELEASE*

WE’LL CONTINUE TO BE TOUGH ON BANDITS UNTIL IDPs RETURN HOME — GOV. ALIYU

Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, has assured that his administration will sustain its efforts to combat banditry in the state and ensure that internally displaced persons (IDPs) return to their ancestral homes.

The Governor gave the assurance on Thursday afternoon while declaring open the 8th regular meeting of the State Executive Council.

He said the state government, in collaboration with conventional security agencies, was intensifying the fight against banditry through a more robust strategy that was gradually yielding positive results.

“We are recording tremendous improvement in our fight against banditry in the state, and we will not relent until we make the state safer.

“Our collaboration with security agencies is indeed yielding tangible results, as bandits are now being engaged more than ever before, while livestock are being recovered in some local government areas,” he added.

Governor Aliyu cited the recent successes recorded in Rabah, Tureta and Kebbe Local Government Areas, where security agencies engaged bandits, rescued people from captivity and recovered thousands of livestock rustled by the bandits.

The Governor further assured the people of the state, particularly those in areas worst affected by banditry, that with the provision of new armoured vehicles and other hardware support to security agencies, security personnel would continue to pursue bandits until rural communities are made safer.

He restated his administration’s commitment to providing the necessary support to security agencies in the state to protect the lives and property of citizens.

He also appealed to the people to continue supporting the government in its efforts to restore lasting peace and security across the state.

The Governor said his administration would also continue to execute meaningful projects that have a direct impact on the lives of the people, in line with its 9-Point Agenda.

According to him, the present administration has, in the last three and a half years, continued to deliver dividends of democracy in healthcare, education, road infrastructure, water supply, religious affairs and empowerment programmes across the state.

“We are committed to achieving our dream of a New Sokoto that generations yet unborn will be proud of,” he added.

He solicited the continued support and prayers of the people towards the realisation of these objectives.

ICRC TRAINS 120 HEALTH WORKERS IN SOKOTO

The International Committee of the Red Cross, ICRC, in collaboration with the Nigerian Red Cross Society, NRCS, has trained 120 health workers on key humanitarian healthcare issues in Sokoto State.

The training, held from September 18th to 24th, 2026, focused on Health Care in Danger, HCiD, Community Engagement and Accountability, CEA, and the Code of Conduct of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

The participants were drawn from ICRC-supported Primary Health Care Centres in Farfaru, Kofar Kade and Mabera, as well as health personnel from the Sokoto State Primary Health Care Development Agency, SPHCDA, and Local Government Health Departments.

The training strengthened the participants’ knowledge and practical skills in providing quality healthcare in challenging and humanitarian settings.

It also emphasised the importance of engaging meaningfully with communities, respecting human dignity, and adhering to the principles and professional standards of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

The ICRC and NRCS say strengthening the capacity of health workers will contribute to the delivery of safe, dignified and quality healthcare to people affected by armed conflict and other humanitarian challenges.

The initiative is part of efforts to ensure that health workers are better prepared to respond effectively when communities need healthcare services the most.
