The Chairman, Nigerian Red Cross Society Anambra Branch, Awka South Division, Comrade Emmanuel Ezeobi, says the organization is reinvigorating through well-thought-out strategic plans.
Angel Network News (ANN) reports that
the division Chairman, Comrade Ezeobi while addressing newsmen in Amawbia,
said the plan is focused on strengthening governance, enhancing volunteer base, and improving internal controls.
Ezeobi named some of the volunteer base and plans to include: restructuring of the division to be more active, effective, and visible to the public.
We will also adopt the use of technology, digital platforms to improve communication, while deliberately increasing youth involvement.
“Welfare of members will be our top priority while we shall also cherish and explore partnership with organisations and embark on robust community engagement”. Ezeobi submitted.
However, he identified the urgent movement to proposed new office at the Awka South Local Government Secretariat as one of the immediate challenges.
“When that is finally done, we now conduct the investiture of the current Mayor of Awka South, Prince Chinedu Okafor as the patron in accordance with the Red Cross rule.”
The Chairman announced the appointment of Mr Chukwuma Emuwa as a Volunteer Consultant in furtherance of the numerous strategic plans.
“He is a humanitarian, red Cross awardee, researcher and author of the books: Experiences of Africans, African Americans, Nigerians and Igbos: Self Observation: Experiences and Mental Wellness.
“Emuwa is also one of the stakeholders of the Nigerian Red Cross. He will volunteer his time, and resources towards the assignment, ensuring that teams, resources and strategies are aligned with the goals, core mission and values of the Red Cross.”
He said the organization is open for more volunteers, members, consultants and well-meaning Nigerians who will volunteer time and resources in assisting it in numerous services to humanity.
“The aim is to reposition the division to play a critical role being the main division within the Awka Capital City of Anambra State,” Ezeobi concluded.
