 The Northeast Development Commission, NEDC, is working towards a master plan. This would make the commission and the six states in the region become self-sufficient and eliminate dependence on federal allocation by 2030. Speaking at a stakeholders meeting in Jalingu, the managing director of the commission, Mohamed Al-Khali, disclosed that all operational internally displaced camps in the region will be closed down by 2030. In his speech, the governor, Dairus Ishaku, promised continuous support of the state government to the activities of the NEDC. He commanded the commission for carrying the state along in its activities. The situation in the Northeast is very fluid. It is changing. And our plan is a holistic plan, but it takes into consideration the fluidity of the situation and the need to make adjustments as the needs arise. By 2030, we wouldn't want to have any IDP remaining in the whole region. In fact, as we speak now, in the preceding year, that's 2021, about four camps were closed down in Borno State, and that's why we have the concentration of IDPs. The NEDC's vision is novel, as the commission was able to enlist everyone in the master plan project, resulting in greater acceptability and buy-in. We therefore commend the harmony, collaboration and cooperation among the governments of the region and the commission's inception.
