The Benue State Emergency Management Agency (BSEMA) on Monday launched a digital emergency management system, known as the Benue Electronic Emergency Management System (Benue E-Emergency Platforms).
Speaking at the launch in Makurdi, the agency’s permanent secretary, Sir James Iorpuu, commended the initiative as a “historic milestone,” positioning Benue as a national leader in smart, transparent, and community-driven emergency response.
He explained that the platform enables citizens to report various emergencies-including floods, fires, road accidents, communal clashes, gunmen attacks, and the needs of internally displaced persons-via an integrated website and social media channels.
