Our Mission Is Advancement Of Black Race, Humanitarian Service, Says NBM President
The President of the NBM of Africa Worldwide, Dr Charles Chimezie, has declared that the organisation is a Pan-African and humanitarian movement committed to the advancement of the black race and the promotion of humanity, distancing it from violence, crime and other forms of criminality.
Chimezie, who stated this while fielding questions from journalists, said the organisation had remained committed to peace and humanitarian interventions, with its activities extending to various areas of human development and support for vulnerable members of society.
He said the NBM of Africa had consistently demonstrated its commitment to humanitarian service, stressing that its programmes and interventions were designed to contribute to the welfare of communities and improve the lives of people in need.
The president said the organisation was also opposed to crime and crime-related activities, noting that it was committed to working with relevant government agencies and security authorities in efforts to promote peace, security and responsible citizenship.
According to him, the organisation’s philosophy was centred on the upliftment of the black race and the advancement of humanity, rather than violence or lawlessness.
He urged regional and state presidents of the movement to intensify sensitisation of members on the need to remain peaceful, law-abiding and responsible in their respective communities.
Chimezie said members must understand that belonging to the organisation carries with it the responsibility to respect the laws of the land and contribute positively to society.
He stated: “NBM does not in any way imply violence or any form of lawlessness. We provide for the needy and obey the laws of the land wherever we find ourselves to make the world a better place for all to live.”
The NBM president’s position comes with a call for members across the country and beyond to ensure that the conduct of individuals does not undermine the organisation’s stated humanitarian objectives and its commitment to peace and community development.
