North East Development Commission (NEDC) has executed 134 projects in various sectors of Taraba State.
The managing director and chief executive officer of NEDC, Muhammed Alkali, disclosed this yesterday in Jalingo during a courtesy call on the state governor, Dr Agbu Kefas.
Alkali said that the commission was in the state to introduce the new members of the board recently inaugurated by the president and to monitor some of the projects going on in the state.
The NEDC boss said while most of the projects had been completed and ready for handing over, others are at various stages of execution and will be completed at the stipulated scheduled time.
Governor Agbu Kefas in his response commended the commission and pledged the full collaboration and support of the state government to the commission.
“This visit attest to your commitment to the development of the region. I am aware of the challenges confronting our region, both infrastructure and security.
I am optimistic that with the right collaboration, we would overcome. The NEDC plays a crucial role in achieving our goals and so we hold you in high esteem.
“I commend the commission for their proactive collaboration with the state. We would provide all the necessary collaboration and support to ensure full implementation of your projects in the state.
“Let me call on all other stakeholders to join us in achieving the desired development of our dear state. We cannot limit ourselves to the government alone. The task ahead of us is enormous but not insurmountable,” the governor said.
