In its effort to Reconstruct, Rehabilitate, and Resettle millions of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs and other victims of insurgency in the Northeast region, the North East Development Commission, NEDC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding MOU with a Chinese construction company for that purpose.
Major General Paul Tarfa (Rtd), NEDC Chairman disclosed this to newsmen shortly after signing the MOU at the headquarters of the Commission in Maiduguri.
General Tarfa said MoU became imperative to scale up the people-oriented interventions executed by the commission in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi, and Taraba states.
He explained that areas of collaboration include renewable energy and power generation, health care, education, agriculture, road construction, favorable climate, job creation, poverty alleviation, rehabilitation, and resettlement.
The Chairman said a holistic approach is needed to address most of the short and long-term durable solutions.
Mr. Liu, Managing Director of the Chinese company who signed on behalf of the company said the MoU is aimed at resolving the immediate challenges and devastations that were carried out by insurgents, and the attendant economic challenges.
“We are to start prioritizing key areas such as reconstruction, ecological and climate change, power, transportation, resettlement, education, and hosts of other projects,” Liu said.
He assured that the Company would execute projects that would attract more investment opportunities for people of the region.
