The Kullen Allah Cattle Rearers Association (KACRAN) has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider increasing the North East Development Commission’s(NEDC’) annual budget.
A statement by the KACRAN national president, Hon.Khalil Mohammed Bello, and made available to journalists in Damaturu said, this will empower the Commission to continue its vital work in reconstruction, development, and support for internally displaced persons who have suffered immensely due to insurgency.
Khalil stated that KACRAN acknowledges the NEDC as a pivotal force for progress and prosperity in the North East region.
He noted that since its inception, the NEDC has operated under the stewardship of distinguished leadership, with a singular focus on driving the Commission’s success.
“KACRAN notes the unprecedented contribution of the NEDC in augmenting the policies and programs initiated by the Federal Government,which have been vital to the region’s advancement over the past four decades.
“We wish to highlight the multifaceted role of the Commission across various sectors of human and social development. The NEDC’s commitment is evident in its support for security operations through the provision of utility vehicles and essential materials, which have significantly bolstered the fight against insurgency.
“This support has led to marked improvements in regional security, with the North East no longer being characterized as the epicenter of insecurity in the Northern part of Nigeria.
“The Commission’s proactive stance on matters critical to regional security and the welfare of its inhabitants is a testament to its potential as a transformative entity for the North East and its people.
“KACRAN is pleased to report on the NEDC’s openness to consider submissions from a diverse range of stakeholders, including state governors,local government councils, educational institutions, media,and various organizations committed to enhancing regional security and development”.
