 Meanwhile, the North East Development Commission, NEDC, said it has become pertinent to gather stakeholders within North East. This is an order to discuss the way forward and to correct the damage done by Boko Haram in the region. The Managing Director, Mohamed Al-Khali, disclosed this in YOLA during the consultative and engagement meeting on its developmental 10-year plan for the North East. He explained that the NEDC is doing everything possible to rebuild all the places touched by terrorists. Professor Boboyumar represented the Managing Director. He said the master plan will identify the needs of the region and spell out strategies, immediate and long-term interventions for the recovery, stabilization, renewal and sustainable development of the region. Take a listen. The 10-year plan consists of 10 pillars which will encompass the relevant aspects of policies and programs of the state and those of other partners. In this meeting, the progress made so far in the master plan project will be presented to stakeholders and their input solicited thereafter for inclusion in the plan. This meeting has been working seriously with the civil society organization but this morning I want to say two things, one I want them to improve their coordination and they are working with the CSOS because we are all in the same thing trying to develop our region, trying to make our people to live a better life. This is a lot of good effort of the North East Development Commission and especially the solution I involved under the table, bring up our issue of gender equity, which is inevitable.
