The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) on Tuesday pledged to continue to provide humanitarian services for the benefit of Nigerians.

Ms Diene Keita, the new UNFPA Country Representative (CR) in Nigeria, made the promise at the opening of 2017 Mid-Year Review Meeting with its Implementing Partners (IPs) in Abuja.

Represented by the Assistant Representative (Population and Development), Mr Osaretin Adonri, she said that this would however be done within limited resources available to the Fund.

She said the UN system was concerned about the increasing demand for humanitarian interventions in the country and called on all stakeholders to address the situation.

The official also enjoined participants at the meeting to remain committed to the partnership and faithfully implement of all agreed 2017 annual work plans.

This, she said, would facilitate the realisation of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), South-South Cooperation and SDGs.
