New Head of Delegation of the IFRC

We are delighted to welcome the new Head of Delegation of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), Ghulam Mohammed Awam, to Nigeria.

With decades of experience across South Asia and Africa—supporting National Societies, leading humanitarian initiatives at the global level, and strengthening resilience in crisis contexts—Mr. Awam brings with him a strong commitment to sustainability, innovation, and collaboration.

During his introduction to the NRCS leadership team, he emphasized his open-door approach, a collective drive for impact, and a vision for building a self-sustaining Nigerian Red Cross Society.

We look forward to working hand-in-hand to advance humanitarian outcomes for the most vulnerable.
