The management of the North East Development Commission (NEDC) and senior staff led by the MD/CEO, Mohd. G. Alkali, are in Yobe State for an assessment visit to the Nangere local government area.

The aim of the visit is to access where a major length of the road, culvert, and bridge collapsed between Tarajim and Garin Gada, all in the Nangere local government area, due to heavy downpour.

The road links Potiskum to the northern part of Yobe state, comprising of Jakusko, Bade, Yusufari, Karasuwa, Nguru, and Machina local government areas.

The Managing Director was accompanied in the visit by the Executive Director of Finance and Administration of the commission, Dr. Abubakar Garba Iliya, who sympathized with the affected communities in the Nangere local government area.

“We are here to assess the situation and provide immediate and long-term support, as we are duly committed to taking swift action to alleviate the suffering of the people.” Alkali said.

The community leaders of the affected areas appreciate the North East Development Commission for showing its concern in this most difficult time.
