Dr Abbas Idriss, pioneer Director-General (D-G) of the Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has urged the Minister of the FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike against reducing the agency to a department.
Idriss made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on the sideline of an event in honour of Mr Mohammed Sabo.
Sabo was the acting director-general of the department but retired from service on Friday, after serving the Federal Capital Territory Administration for 35 years.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that FEMA was established in June 2013, by Section 8 of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) Act of 1999, with Idriss as its pioneer D-G.
