KACRAN Commends NEDC

By: Michael Mike

Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has commended the outgoing members of NEDC management board and call on the incoming one to improve on their performance

There is no exaggeration to proudly say that, in the entire history of the North East Region there was no Federal government’s institution that performed excellently well towards improving the live status of the people of the region than the North East developnent Commission, which within a time under review, that is from its establishment in 2017, by His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari to date, positively touched the lives of many people of the region, especially the IDPs and those who are directly affected by the painful act of Boko Haram insergents.

For the reason that, if we could recall, before the creation of NEDC, North East region was highly devastated by the activities of insergents which burned down or destroyed many houses, schools, mosques, Churches, Markets, offices and people’s properties worth than millions or billions naira.

The worhtness of the situation then has come to a situation where by, the people of the region who faced the said bad experiences lost what to do, by finding them self in the midst of helpless situation without knowing what to do or where to go for help.

Among the people of the region who badly experienced the said urgly consequences and seriously suffered due to the said ruinous activities of of the insergents in the region are some of our dear pastoralists, whom were killed, their animals rustled and forced to moved to unknown places without food, water or any source of livelihood.

But thank God the almighty, as soon as the commission was established or formed under the able leadership of Alhaji Mohammed Alkali and well experienced, honest and totally committed members of his management board such as Alh Mohammed Jawa who’s main interest is the developnent of the region and promoting the lives of its people.

It can be easily recall that as a the Commission was form it instantly embarked on the aggressive execution of gigantic reconstruction projects such as building thousands houses/schools, offices and renovating the renovatable schools, houses, mosques, Churches, offices, giving palliative on quarterly bases to vulnerable and internally displaced people.

The Members of the Commission’s management board in their forsight/ bid to link the cities, towns, villages and rural Areas devoted their time in the road construction, building bridges, training people on various professional Fields and supplying them with working materials to stand on their own economic/survival feet.

Payment of schoolership to students and Teachers who want to advance the frontiers of their knowledge and so on and so forth.

In the side of our dear pastoralists, whom I am so much concern on their interest, the Commission performed wonderfully good by helping our Herders with animals feed and water points as well as including our members in its quarterly distribution of relief materials to the valnerable and internally displaced people.

At the same time, NEDC, under the able leadership of its Managing Director, Alhaji Mohammed Alkalii and his members of management board, more especially the Director Finance and Administration Alhaji Muhammad Jawa performed extremely well in terms of reducing the number of insecurity in the region and Boko Haram attacks on Security operatives and innocent people of the region by giving Military and other security operatives in the region helping hand in providing them with operational Cars and other Working materials.

The commission had also assist towards reducing insecurity in the North East region by helping or engaging many Youths in the region with economic activities that they can legitimately relay on for their survival

At this juncture, let us empersize that, we of KACRAN decides to commend the Ch, MD and commission’s management board due to the fact that, we strongly believe that all the commission’s successes mentioned above and numerous of them not stated are possible due to the thruthworthness, selfless services, transparency, accountability, sacrifices and total commitment of the commission’s management board who works like a mad dog to achieve the said recorded success, because if they were not transparent and dedicated to duty the said enviable achievement will never be possible hence the need to commend them immensely.

In view of our interest towards the developnent of our region, we members of KACRAN as one of the commission’s stakeholders and partners in progress we strongly call on the incoming leadership of NEDC, starting from its Chairman, MD, Management board, and all other staff of the commission to improve on the performance of the outgoing management team.

We also call on the remaining staff of the commission to extend the same surport, loyalty and cooperation that they gave to the out going management to the incoming one to enable the commission improve on the said recorded successes.

In conclusion, while highly thanking the outgoing members of the commission’s management board, who truly rendered selfless services that is currently benifiting people’s of the region we passionately appeal to incoming administration of His Excellency Alhaji Asiwaju Boka Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice President His Excellency Alhaji Kashim shattima to kindly reengage the out going members of NEDC management in other sector of nation building and human development so that their vast experiences in community services and nation building would be exploited to the fullest.

Investments in circular economy have the potential to increase forex earnings- NESREA DG

By: Michael Mike

The Director General of National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), Prof. Innocent Barikor has affirmed that investments in the circular economy value chain have the potential to increase the country’s foreign exchange earnings.

Barikor made this statement recently during a meeting with the management of a plastic packaging recycling (rPET) company, Sonnex in Lagos.

He assured the team that the Nigerian government prioritizes circular economy, noting that the draft National Environmental (Plastic Waste Control) Regulations soon to be gazetted is one of the efforts to strengthen the legal framework for circular economy implementation in Nigeria.

He said: “Circular Economy falls under the Presidential priorities for the Federal Ministry of Environment, and the Minister is very keen on the success. Apart from tackling the problem of waste, green jobs have been created .

“The pellets and flakes you produce and export also generate foreign exchange. The Plastic Waste Control Regulations are awaiting official gazette and once gazetted, we would have connected the dots of the framework to implement circular economy in the plastic sector. We are deeply committed to ensuring the success of Circular Economy.”

Earlier, the Managing Director, Anil Mohinani intimated the NESREA boss on the process for the production of recycled PET bottles (rPET), whilst also highlighting the challenges faced by investors in the sector .

He listed some of the setbacks to include lack of a legal instrument to compel manufacturers in the food and beverage sector to embrace food-grade rPET, unfriendly policies by some foreign companies, and insufficient awareness .

“Europe and America create barriers to protect their international recycling business. There is unfair competition. In some countries such as Kenya, there is encouragement to invest in rPET recycling because there is a regulation in place,” he added.
