A group known as the North-East Youth Discussion Cycle has commended efforts of the North East Development Commission for its efforts in uplifting the standard of living of people in the region.
The group say NEDC has done well in areas of youth empowerment, education, improved access to quality healthcare services and resettlement of IDPs.
They call on President Muhammadu Buhari to extend the tenure of the Managing Director of the commission so as to enable him continue to execute the good work he started.

At the first public private partnership summit in Lagos, the Niger Delta development commission seeks the support of private investors from across the world.
This is a historical moment for the Niger delta region, as the Niger delta development commission plays host to key players, policymakers, investors, and development partners.
They are here to deliberate on strategies that can drive sustainable development in Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Imo, Abia, Akwa-Ibom and Cross river states.
Welcoming the distinguished guests to the summit, the managing director of the commission takes time to explain why the summit is holding in Lagos, the centre of excellence.
From representatives of the National Assembly to state government and private investors, the current board of the NDDC has been promised full support with stakeholders hoping to usher in a new dawn for the Niger Delta.
