The Nigerian Red Cross Society has said it is currently overwhelmed by the magnitude of disaster and humanitarian situations in Nigeria.

This is in spite of the fact that the humanitarian organisation has over 800,000 volunteers labouring across the country to bring smiles to the faces of suffering citizens.

To support it’s efforts, a report in Daily Trust quoted Red Cross as calling for more intervention from well-meaning individuals.

The report said President of the Society, Prince Oluyemisi Adeaga, stated this in Lagos during the 2024 annual fund raising and gala night held in Lagos on Saturday.

He said: “By the time we divide these 800,000 volunteers across the 36 states and the FCT, we are nowhere near our capacity to address the challenges.”

He added: “Apart from Borno which has become a vocal point, there are several other states that are affected by flood.

“I am calling on all of us to please team up with the Nigerian Red Cross Society. You can join us because this is a noble call.

“There is no money there but you have the grace of God. It doesn’t take money to do good.

“There are too many tasks to do and that is what has brought us here,” he said.
