Benue State Commissioner for Humanitarian and Disaster Management, Hon. Aondowase Kunde is determined to make potent impact on the people of Benue State.
Hon. Kunde eulogizes Benue State Executive Governor, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia for being a pragmatic Governor who has placed the wellbeing of the people of Benue State above personal interests.
Upon his appointment and inauguration as commissioner, Kunde mirrored the precarious situation of the victims of herders attacks, flood and other disasters and mapped out strategies in conformity with Gov Alia's roadmap to making momentous impact.
Nelson Mandela said: "a fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of." Kunde believes that making Benue a better place we passionately dreamt of is only possible if we unite against all odds for the common good.
He has followed the impact of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres in managing humanitarian crisis across the globe. Guterres said humanitarianism itself is now under attack. But these tests have made the global humanitarian community stronger. He acknowledged that humanitarians are finding new ways to venture deeper into disaster-stricken regions, and closer to the front lines of conflict, driven by a single purpose: to save and protect lives.
Kunde reaffirmed his unswerving determination to make the desired impact. He said we cannot stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with knowledge: so many lives wouldn't have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness.
