“The NEDC under the leadership of its chairman, Alhaji Goni Mohammed Alkali has continued to carry out the mandate assigned to it by the Federal Government.
When one considers the decay in infrastructures across the country and the bureaucracies that hinder the smooth operations of many government agencies, one will marvel at all the successes recorded by NEDC in such a short of one year”
“Since the appointment of the Managing Director of the North East Development Commission (NEDC) Alhaji Mohammed Goni Alkali, he has succeeded in coordinating, harmonizing, overseeing many interventions and initiatives in the Northeastern states through effective managerial skills”
“NEDC under Alkali is a leading horse in different rescue missions and initiatives of the Federal Government when it comes to changing the narratives of the people of North-East that have been bedevilled by a lot of challenges ranging from Insurgency, banditry and kidnappings, which has caused untold hardship on the people. NEDC has recorded progress by bringing relief and peace to the region”
“The Commission is also building 3,500 housing units in the region, which consists of four blocks of well-furnished two-bedroom detachable flats with verandas and a courtyard in a cluster arrangement. In addition to the housing units, it has provided other essential amenities such as solar-powered street lights and boreholes, a police station and a motor park in the area.
