WHD 2025: Lawmaker Erondu Jnr Honours Humanitarian Workers, Calls for Support to Vulnerable Communities | #NwokeukwuMascot

 News 


The Chairman, House Committee on Public Service in the Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Erondu Uchenna Erondu Jnr, has paid glowing tribute to humanitarian workers across the world, describing them as the unsung heroes of global peace and development.




In a statement signed by his spokesperson, George Egejuru, to commemorate World Humanitarian Day 2025, Erondu Jnr said the day was not only an occasion to honour those who lost their lives in service to humanity but also a moment to strengthen solidarity and renew commitments to vulnerable communities.




“Humanitarian workers risk their lives daily to bring hope to people in despair. On this day, we salute their courage, honour their sacrifices, and stand in solidarity with them by ensuring that no community is left behind,” the lawmaker declared.




Representing Obingwa-West State Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, Erondu Jnr noted that this year’s theme, “Strengthening Global Solidarity and Empowering Local Communities,” serves as a timely reminder that humanitarian action should go beyond the delivery of aid to empowering people to rebuild their lives and shape their destinies.




The former Chairman of Obingwa Local Government Area expressed deep concern over ongoing humanitarian crises worldwide, particularly in Gaza, where families face dire shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. He also highlighted Nigeria’s domestic challenges, including the plight of displaced persons in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe States, as well as victims of violent clashes in Benue, Plateau, Niger, and Sokoto.




Citing data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the lawmaker noted that over 8.4 million people in North-East Nigeria require urgent humanitarian assistance in 2025, with more than 2.2 million still living in displacement camps.




“The situation is compounded by recurring banditry, farmer-herder clashes, and seasonal floods in states like Kebbi, Kogi, Ebonyi, and Anambra,” he added.




Erondu Jnr, a former Director of Enyimba FC, commended humanitarian organisations working tirelessly in Nigeria and around the globe. He urged stronger partnerships between governments, development agencies, and citizens to close humanitarian gaps.





“Solidarity must move beyond words. We must support emergency appeals, strengthen local response systems, and invest in community resilience. Empowering communities is the surest way to break cycles of vulnerability,” he stressed.




The Uhie-born legislator also called on governments at all levels to embrace people-centered governance anchored on transparency and accountability, which he described as the backbone of humanitarian service.




“As we commemorate World Humanitarian Day, let us resolve to be our brother’s keeper. Every act of compassion counts, every hand of support saves a life, and every voice raised for justice brings us closer to a fairer world,” he concluded.
