As the world marks World Humanitarian Day 2025, the UK government has spotlighted the heroic efforts of aid workers in Nigeria, including Dr. Ifuk-ibot John of the World Food Programme and Wandu Zira George of CARE International.
The UK in Nigeria, through a series of striking images and messages shared on X on Tuesday, honoured the workers’ contributions.
“This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we celebrate aid workers, like Dr. Ifuk-ibot John (@WFP_Nigeria) & Wandu Zira George (@CARE Nigeria), helping vulnerable people access food, healthcare & protection,” the British High Commission in Nigeria said.
Dr. John is a nutrition officer at WFP. He is involved in WFP’s operations in northeast Nigeria, where the programme is seeking to alleviate households struggling with ever-increasing food prices.
He is recognised for empowering women survivors who challenge inequality and expand community decision-making.
Ms. George is the Coordinator of Women Lead in Emergency for Care Nigeria, where she has led various humanitarian initiatives in Nigeria, particularly in the northern states.
