The Zonal Coordinator (North East), Tinubu Support Movement (TSM), Hon. Yazid Inuwa Malamin Kasuwa congratulates Malam Musa Umar Yashi – the Executive Director [Humanitarian Affairs], North East Development Commission (NEDC) – for successfully delivering the NESDMP to the Vice President, HE Sen. Kashim Shettima, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

While unveiling the NESDMP for the NEDC, V P Kashim Shettima urged the commission to prioritise investments in legacy projects, including agriculture, education, and smart transportation, also referred to as electric transport vehicles and tricycles. 

Speaking upon receiving the 2020–2030, VP Kashim Shettima urged the board of the commission to be prudent with the resources at their disposal, and invest in projects that will have a lasting impact on the region.

“I will ask the board and management of NEDC to embark on legacy projects—projects that will stand the test of time. It is absolutely essential that you invest in agriculture and in new transport technology—electric tricycles and vehicles. If you invest in smart transportation, it will cause a sea change, and you can even attract climate funding,” VP Kashim Shettima added.

On his part, the Managing Director of NEDC, Mr Mohammed Alkali, said the master plan was in fulfilment of Section 8(1)(c) of the NEDC Act, which stipulates that the commission shall develop a master plan based on the needs assessment of the zone. He noted that the 10-year development plan has four implementation phases, 11 pillars, and 529 schemes, programmes, and projects.
