President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said a committee to rehabilitate infrastructure and resettle Internally Displaced Persons,IDPs in the North-East sub-region will soon be formally inaugurated.

The committee, to be led by a frontline statesman, Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma, a retired lieutenant general, will also include Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, a statement by spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said.

Speaking at the State House, Abuja, in response to a goodwill message delivered to him by a group, Women In Politics Forum (WIPF), President Buhari announced that all forms of assistance and aid in this respect, generated locally and from foreign countries as promised by the Group of Seven of Industrialized Countries (G7) would be channeled through the committee when inaugurated.

He said he had compiled a list of damaged infrastructure,including schools and bridges and handed it to the leaders of the G7 and the United States, adding that “I didn’t ask for a Kobo (in cash). It is up to them to choose what they will undertake. Already,some of them have sent teams to verify our assertions.”

President Buhari decried the impact of the Boko Haram violence on women and children, declaring that they are its worst victims.

“In the North-East, what I saw for myself and on those clips is a source of concern for people with conscience,” the President said. “They are mostly women, and children who are orphaned. Some of them don’t even know where they come from. This is the pathetic situation in which the country has found itself.”

He said the fight for the return of the Chibok girls was ongoing and “continues to be a most worrying issue” to his government, emphasizing that the administration will do all within its powers in making the best efforts to secure their freedom.

The President acknowledged the case made by the WIPF for better representation of women in his government and assured it that women would fare well in the composition of parastatals and their boards in the first quarter of this year.

He also defended the records of the administration in response to criticism that it is slow, arguing that steps must taken with caution to avoid mistakes.
“People say we are slow. We are trying to change structures put in place by our predecessors in office for 16 years. If we hurry it, we will make mistakes. That will be a disaster.”

President Buhari assured that the country has a budget proposal for the new year that is good for employment and manufacturing.

“By the end of the second quarter,the full impact of these positive measures will be felt,” he told the visiting women.

The WIPF, made up of women leaders from 26 registered political parties, led by Ebere Ifendu of the Labour Party, expressed their full support for the government’s war on corruption and insecurity.

They asked the administration to usher in laws to promote gender equity as well as action towards the implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act.
The Women’s group made the record of being the first organization to be received by the President in the New Year.

This Hausa Fulani Kanuri people will seize this opportunity to develop their devastated region. It will serve as good example to the hapless chaff called Jonathan on how to do good for your people when you have the chance.

They will rebuild everything without corruption, they will improve northern educational standards and technical trades, they will build a northern middle class within eight yeard and idiot southerners who cannot tell themselves the truth and criticise themselves will learn hard. Clueless Ness incorporated

What if Boko Haram destroys all these laudable projects again?

You must think everyone is a Dasuki, Jonathan, Akpobolokemi, Dokpesi and so on.

Never again shall Nigeria allow someone as Jonathan to direct her affairs. It's only when you have such a leader that a whole section of the country can be controlled by insurgents.

I had to wonder if it's another person.

Better reword your statement please.

If we northerners talk, dem go say we no no book. Tor south and book, are u guys understanding politics? Dts how its done

Had Northeast been Southeast, the reconstruction will be done outside the place the war took place specifically Lagos, Kaduna and Abuja

When will Southeast be reconstructed instead of these venomous hate and envy against the region?

Imagine a civil war veteran asking what Southeast wants when they cry of marginaliztion knowing fully well that everything the moved and stood tall were leveled to the ground as a punishment rather than rules of engagement.

Where is the reconstruction, rehabilitation and re-integration signed in 1970 to be carried out throughout Eastern Region?

We pray so, but there is Sunni - Shiite conflict brewing at the background in Nigeria instigated by the killings in Kaduna and bros that is more deadly.

Let's hope & pray.

T.Y Danjuma a fellow yam eating veteran. . . . . .Hopefully they rebuild that region and educate millions of those backward savages deliberately impoverished to serve the interest of the elites.

I wish them well . . . .

This one na lamentations. Forget these people, and focus on self development. Even if they turn the North to Dubai, Ab0ki na still Ab0ki.

The people on their own will take out Boko Haram in one week. It is the lack of federal presence that has kept them on the fence for do long

Why don't you wipe out all traces of Boko Haram first before even thinking of rehabilitating NE. It is plain stupidity to rebuild something that will be destroyed the next day; Buhari don't waste our scarce resources!

Ok

b

Okay. That's a good move.

Hmmmm

Don't misunderstand me, I support this program 100% and wish that the reconstruction is fast tracked to help those indigent IDP refugees to have their lives back better than pre-bokoharam terrorism in 2007.

It is heartbreaking and worthy of compassion seeing what my fellow humans pass through in those camps as a result of actions and reactions that are not fault of theirs.

sai
