 The chairman of the House of Representatives' Committee on Hydrological Services Hydroelectric Power Producing Aerial Development Commission, HyperDec, Pascal Aboudike, has pledged commitment to the development of the commission's host communities. Aboudike, who represents Iheala federal constituency of a number of states, made the pledge when the managing director of HyperDec, Abu Bakr Sadiq Yelwa, appeared before the committee on Tuesday. He promised that the committee will assist the HyperDec to get more funding to address the challenges facing the agency. Since the integration of this House, we took time to listen to host communities, the 10 states that are members of HyperDec. Most of our members have told around those states and reported back to this honorable committee about what the words that are going on from HyperDec in those states. Going by the law that established HyperDec, there are many things the agency should be doing to see to the welfare of those communities in the member states. If you see the number of houses, if you see the number of homes, if you see the number of farmlands, we lose along by Benui, from Taraba down to Benui, down to Nasrawa state, you will pity with the communities. This also is the same situation with the River Niger. This is some situation with the River Keduna, and any other community that is going to be hydro. Now, if we say those communities, they are even supporting more because of the cost challenge of those communities, so these are some of the issues we want your committee to address. We are not saying it should come to HyperDec. We have enough to handle if we have enough resources to do that. But what is most important is please look at those communities.
