Nearly 14 million people affected by insurgency are to benefit from President Muhammadu Buhari’s five-year recovery plan for states in the North East zone of the country.
The National Programme Coordinator, Rural Water and Sanitation Services, John Mamza, made this known during a one-day rural water supply overview programme in Yola, Adamawa state on Tuesday.
Mamza explained that the Federal Government through the African Development Bank AfDB in 2018 secured a flexible loan of 179.42 million U.S. dollars for North East Emergency Transition, Recovery and Peace building.
He said that the project was under the Inclusive Basic Service Delivery and Livelihood Empowerment Integrated Programme funded by AfDB and implemented by the five North Eastern states of Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe, Borno, and Bauchi.
