The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has honored Zubaida Umar, the Director-General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), with an exemplary leadership award. This recognition is part of NIPR's inaugural International Women's Day (IWD) program, scheduled for March 2026.

The announcement was made in a press release issued on February 25, 2026, by Manzo Ezekiel, the head of the NEMA press unit. The IWD planning committee, chaired by Hajiya Lami Tumaka, selected Umar for this honor due to the significant impact of his leadership in emergency management and his efforts to amplify voices and narratives that align with the IWD theme.
