The North East Development Commission, NEDC has presented a cheque of N2 billion for onward distribution to over 800,000 traders whose goods and services were destroyed following the February 26, 2023 fire inferno that erupted at the Maiduguri Monday Market, Borno state.

Presenting the cheque to Governor Babagana Zulum during a courtesy call on him at the Government House on Monday, the Chairman of the commission, Major General Paul Tarfa , and the Managing Director, Ambassador Goni Alkali said, they were in the state to first introduce the newly constituted members of the Board that were appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“We have gone round some local government areas in the six northeastern states including Bama and Konduga in Borno where we inspected the newly constructed Police Barracks and other facilities that were hitherto destroyed by insurgents. Responding, Governor Zulum congratulated the new Board members and prayed God Almighty to guide and protect them in the course of their primary assignment.

“In this our trying moment, we want NEDC to key into our Borno Model in renewable energy, education, RRR and to also provide building materials for us.
