The North-East Development Commission NEDC has pledged to contain future occurrence of floods in the North-East.
The Chief Executive Officer of NEDC, Mohammad Alkali, gave the assurance in Bauchi when he led officials from the commission on a condolence visit to Governor Bala Mohammed over the recent flood incidents in the state.
The commission was also in Bauchi to distribute food and non-food items to victims of flood and the Internally Displaced Persons IDPs in the state.
Alkali, who is also the Managing Director of the commission, said that NEDC had been proactive in its activities.
He said that the commission, during the World Humanitarian Day celebration in Maiduguri on August 19th, donated food and non-food items to the six north eastern states.
He said this was possible with the Federal Government’s intervention through the Presidential Committee on Repatriation, Return and Resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons of the commission.
Responding, Governor Mohammed appreciated the Federal Government’s show of concern and sympathy to the region through the NEDC and the Humanitarian Ministry.
