The Managing Director of the North-East Development Commission (NEDC), Mr Mohammed Alkali, has stated that the commission needs around $80 billion to implement its master plan for the North-east region.

He said this during a meeting in Abuja on Tuesday with the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) Postmortem Sub-Committee, led by Chairman Mr Kabir Mashi, Alkali expressed these financial requirements.

The NEDC’s leader highlighted that a significant obstacle to the smooth execution of their master plan is the lack of sufficient funding. He noted that the implementation of the North-east Stabilisation and Development Masterplan (NESDMP) has been ongoing since June 2022.

  • He said, “As you know, the issue with naira to dollar equivalent and so when you calculate the funding available to the Commission vis-a- vie the funding of the northeast stabilisation and development masterplan, it needed to be improved”
  • “That is why we are trying to look inward to generate revenue, and we are also looking for public-private partnerships with some stakeholders.”
  • “In spite of all the challenges, the future is still bright because when we say we require $80 billion, we expect some funding to come from public-private partnerships and every challenge creates opportunities.”
  • “So, we are ready to work with all our partners to achieve our mandate and you know the federation accounts allocation committee is a strategic body.”

The Chairman of the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) Postmortem Sub-Committee, Mashi, had earlier stated that the purpose of the subcommittee’s visit was to establish cooperation with the commission to fulfil its goals.

He also mentioned that the sub-committee, formed in July 2004 by the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), has the main task of reviewing the revenue flows into the federation accounts from various generating entities.
