The agency in a statement signed by Mr Manzo Ezekiel, Head of
Press and Public Relations, noted that the claim was false.
According to him, only Nigerian national flag and that of the
agency are in the offices of the agency.
“The allegation is false as the agency has not hoisted any
“strange flag”.
“The Nigerian National Flag and that of NEMA are the only flags
in the offices of the agency.
“It is unfortunate that the picture in circulation was taken by
suspected mischief-makers on Friday at the commissioning of NEMA’s
newly upgraded Emergency Call Centre.
“The Centre was upgraded with supports from the King Salman
Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre that has also provided food
assistance to persons affected by insurgency in the North East and
banditry in the North West in 2018 and this year.
“During the event, it was normal to have flags of Nigeria and
that of Saudi Arabia placed behind representatives of the two
nations at such a bilateral function.
More so as it involved the commissioning of the upgraded Call
Centre funded by an agency of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the
benefit of Nigerians.
“It should be noted that present at the function were
representatives of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia and a team from the
King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre.
“Afterwards, the Saudi Flag was removed immediately.
“The public is therefore advised to disregard the false alarm
and failed campaign of calumny”, the statement said.
