Lets Rebuild North East, Osinbajo Tasks CSOs

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has charged Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to contribute to the rebuilding, reconstruction, reconciliation and resettlement of victims of insurgency in the North East during the Northeast Humanitarian Mutli-Stakeholder Engagement meeting in Borno.

He said that the situation in the region would have been worse without the intervention of the CSOs and donor partners.
“The many civil society groups, funding partners, regional and international partners, have given up their time, resources and even lives in some cases and deserve to be commended.

“But for you, first responders we would have been far worse off than we are today.

“The CSO community is the heart and conscience of undeserved people and communities.

“You have shown uncommon compassion and offered a voice to the most vulnerable, especially when others were nowhere to be found.

“You have supported governments at all levels, in this region in particular, when things were very tough.

“As we deal with what is evidently the greatest human challenge in Nigeria’s recent history, we will need you to be even stronger.

“This challenge will require dedication, innovation and creativity especially from the NGO and CSO community.
