The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has commended the North East Development Commission (NEDC) for being the pivotal force for progress and prosperity in the North East region.
A statement by its national president, Hon Khalil Moh’d Bello which was made available to LEADERSHIP Weekend in Damaturu said, the NEDC has operated under the stewardship of distinguished leadership with special focus on driving the commission’s success.
KACRAN noted the unprecedented contribution of the NEDC in augmenting the policies and programmes initiated by the Federal Government which have been vital to the region’s advancement in the last four decades.
The association said the NEDC’s commitment was evident in its support for security operations through the provision of utility vehicles and essential materials which have significantly bolstered the fight against insurgency.
Hon Khalil said this support has led to remarkable improvements in regional security, with the North East no longer being characterised 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,” he said.
He said governors from the six states of the region requested the NEDC’s assistance in renovating and rebuilding educational institutions, aiming to alleviate the financial burden on state governance.
