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.

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.
