Borno State Government has called on relevant stakeholders in North East to work hand in hand in other to achieve sustainable development in the region.
Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State made the appeal while serving as the Guest Speaker and Chairman, North East Governor’s Forum in Abuja on Tuesday while delivering lecture on “North East Stabilisation and Development Master Plan, a program organized by the Northeast Development Commission (NEDC)
According to him, the ambition of the region must be broad, ambitious, brave and comprehensive enough to cover the scope of all the issues in the north east.
“This master plan must be ambitious, broad, brave, comprehensive to cover the whole scope of issues in the Northeast” He said.
Give us a try today!
Speaking extensively at the meeting, Zulum noted that the vision should be a reflection of their doggedness to rise above their disadvantages in the six geopolitical zone: Bauchi, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Taraba and Borno State during their tenure in office.
“The plan should outlive our tenures in office. It should be a reflection of our doggedness to rise from the ashes of destruction into the bright and welcoming place of peace and development. Our aspirations, as Governors and people of the region, therefore, should be to build back better everything that we lost and much more. The work may appear to be daunting, but rest assured that the bulk will be made easier than we can imagine through the unflinching support you will receive from the leadership in the northeast as a whole. Our respective States in the North East will make available plans for the purpose of alignment and synergy that will deliver better quality service to the people of the northeast”
“This plan should not be a political plan. It should be a people’s plan. A strategic direction to bring back peace in the North East. I implore everyone involved to help us bring back the lost glory of the north east” Zulum urged.
The occasion was graced by important personalities with Goodwill messages from the Chairman, Senate Committee on Special Duties, Sen. Yusuf A. Yusuf, Minister of Communications and Digital Economy Prof. Ali Pantami, Minister of Power, Mr. Abubakar Aliyu, Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali, among other top officials.
