The National
Orientation Agency (NOA), Monday, said it would need the support of
international donor agencies in the efficient discharge of its
assignment.

NOA’s Lagos State
director, Nasir Kaka, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos
that there was the need for international donor organisations to
support the agency in the area of logistics.

Mr. Kaka urged
other agencies and development partners to emulate UNICEF’s effort and
direct resources to promote enlightenment programmes in communities.

“For some time now, UNICEF and NOA have been working harmoniously in ensuring development of children and women.

“The agency
presently does not only need the support of UNICEF, but also other
international organisations within and outside this country to achieve
its objectives.

“We need their
assistance in the production of posters, handbills, and jingles to
enhance community enlightenment and sensitization programmes across the
country,” he said.

Mr. Kaka said the
agency needed such support to be enable it get closer to as many people
and communities as possible. He expressed optimism that the support
would enhance enlightenment information dissemination in market places,
churches/mosques, motor parks, schools, and other places.

Kaka, however,
reiterated the agency’s commitment to ensuring the smooth flow of
information on development programmes in the communities.

“Especially with
the forthcoming elections in the country, a lot of support would be
needed from local and international organisations to scale up
enlightenment,” he said.

The NOA official commended UNICEF’s continued support to children and women development programmes in Nigeria. (NAN)
