GOMBE — Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe state has hinted that the North East Development Commission (NEDC) is set to build 500 affordable mass housing units in Gombe.
The governor who disclosed this at the site on Gombe-Kano road in Gombe metropolis, appealed to NEDC and donor agencies, to take a special look at the state that has turned comforting harbour to many displaced Nigerians in the Northeast.
“The safety and immeasurable security situation of Gombe, has exposed it to the influx of troubled Nigerians from the insurgency and banditry torn states like Taraba, Yobe, Adamawa and Bauchi,” Yahaya said.
Earlier, Chairman of the NEDC Board, Maj. Gen Paul Terfa (rtd) said rebuilding northeast remained the key mandate of the commission.
“The presidential mandate of revamping all vital sectors of the six states of the North-east forms the most integral mission of the NEDC.”
“NEDC will intervene in areas like rehabilitation of moribund farm centres, distribution of food and non-food items,” he said.
