Fg establishes north east development commission
I think you meant to say "FG establishes North East Development Commission".
Yes, that's correct. The Federal Government of Nigeria (FG) established the North East Development Commission (NEDC) in 2017 to oversee the reconstruction and development of the North East region, which has been affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.
The NEDC is a federal agency responsible for coordinating the efforts of various government agencies, international organizations, and stakeholders to rebuild and develop the region. The commission's mandate includes:
- Overseeing the reconstruction of damaged infrastructure, including roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, and homes.
- Promoting economic development through the creation of jobs, entrepreneurship, and small-scale businesses.
- Providing humanitarian assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) and vulnerable communities.
- Supporting the rehabilitation and reintegration of former combatants and their families.
- Enhancing security and stability in the region.
The NEDC is headed by a chairman, who is appointed by the President of Nigeria, and has a governing board comprising representatives from the federal government, state governments, and local governments in the North East region.
