This request was made during a visit by the newly-reappointed chairman of the governing board and management staff of the commission to the Government House in Damaturu.

The Governor, represented by his deputy, highlighted the need for support, especially given the tragic events involving Boko Haram at the College of Agriculture Science and Technology, Gujba, which necessitated the institution’s relocation to Damaturu.

Similarly, the Mai Idriss Alooma Polytechnic in Gaidam faced destruction from insurgents. The Governor appealed to the NEDC to address the challenges these institutions face and assist them in offering more NBTE accredited courses.

He also urged the NEDC to implement its master plan to expedite development and recovery in the North-East region.

The Chairman of the Governing Board of the Commission, Maj. Gen. Paul Tarfa (Rtd), expressed the purpose of their visit, which includes assessing projects and addressing the state’s pressing demands.
