national emergency toll free number.
The newly commissioned number is to help citizens who are
under any form of emergency to get immediate aide.

condition to hospital ambulance service, Fire Service, Police and others.
Speaking at the commissioning, the Minister of
Communications and Digital Economy, Ibrahim Isah Pantami, said the number will
be launched in other states across the country.

immense help to Nigerians at the period of when the dreaded Covid-19 disease is
spreading all over the country.

danger and in an emergency condition to the Fire Service, Police and ambulance
services.
“We will take this to other states in the country. In this
period of Coronavirus, we are working to see how people can get immediate
attention.
