VP Shettima To Lay Foundation For NEDC Headquarters In Borno

Vice President Kashim Shettima will on Wednesday, June 19, lay the foundation stone for the permanent headquarters of the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

According to a statement by the Vice President’s media aide, Stanley Nkwocha, on Tuesday, this was in furtherance of the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to the North-East’s sustainable development through holistic security, reconstruction, food production and job creation programmes.

He said the VP will also flag off the distribution of essential agricultural inputs and equipment procured by the NEDC at the occasion.

“Senator Shettima is also expected to inspect progress on the first phase of construction on the 27km Jere Bowl Road Network in Mafa/Jere local government area, just as he will also perform the groundbreaking ceremony for the second phase of the project.

“State Governors, lawmakers, traditional rulers and dignitaries from across the region are expected to join the VP at the event,” he added.
