Senate Seeks Creation Of North East Development Commission by ruggedboy01: 7:35am On Nov 25, 2015 |
[b]SENATE, yesterday, received a bill seeking to establish the North-East Development Commission (NEDC), which will have legal powers to receive and manage funds from the Federation Account and international donors. The bill stipulates that the zone will receive, on monthly basis, from the Federation Ac- count, an equivalent of 15 percent of the total monthly statutory allocations due to mem- ber states of the commission. This will be the contribution of the Federal Government to the commission. Eighteen senators from the North-East, which cuts across party line, jointly submitted the bill before the Senate. The lawmakers told newsmen that the bill is aimed at rebuilding the zone, which they said has been devastated by Boko Haram. Chairman of the North- East Senate Caucus, Danjuma Goje, who alongside his col- leagues from the zone, said the commission when set up, will complement other agen- cies of government, including state and local governments in rebuilding the region. He also said when the com- mission is fully in force; it will function like the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in the North- East, just as he expressed hope that the bill will receive expeditious passage and as- sent of President Muhammadu Buhari. Meanwhile, in the bill submitted by the senators, the commission, when backed by law, will be charged with the responsibility of settling, rehabilitating, and reconstructing the roads, houses, and business premises of victims of insurgency. It will also address the problems of poverty, illiteracy, ecological problems, and other developmental challenges and environmental crisis facing the region. The commission, according to the bill, will have a board which shall have a chairman, and six other members, all representing the six North-East states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe.[/b] http://sunnewsonline.com/new/senate-seeks-creation-of-north-east-development-commission/ |

A welcome development on condidtion that the money will come from NE and donors and not from FG. However, should it be from FG, then similar commissions should be created for NC, NW, SE, SW and SS(in addition to NDDC). The North-East need to be rebuilt. But the funding of NEDC should come from the statutory allocation of the regions's member-states. I am optimistic that foreign and local donors will pump in money for the good of the people of the zone. MODIfIED... |

TonyeBarcanista:. Guy you are a big fool,always quick to accept any nonsense from your slave masters,have u asked ur self why must the fund be received from the federation account,why can't they create a separate account fund and manage it,if nothing is wrong with it then other geo political zone should come up with their own development commission. |
Re: Senate Seeks Creation Of North East Development Commission by TonyeBarcanista(m): 8:14am On Nov 25, 2015 |
0excel0:What is your own problem? Is it not their own money that will be used to fund the Commission? Is it not better that they give it legal framework so that non of a member-state governor will wake-up one day to pull out of the commission for political/selfish reason? Is it not better that the money come directly from federation account for accountability? Did anybody stop any region from proposing theirs? What exactly is your problem? |

This bill needs to be scrutinized properly. It should never be an open bill without a time frame. |
Re: Senate Seeks Creation Of North East Development Commission by TonyeBarcanista(m): 8:40am On Nov 25, 2015 |
0excel0:Haba, it doesn't work like that na. At the end of every month, the FAAC whose membership consists of all 36 states Finance Commissioners and chaired by the Minister of State for Finance will convey to look into what comes into the Federation Account for that month(Revenue), and then will share the revenue in accordance with the sharing formular. The President is not even part of the process, and it can't be manipulated. In the case of NEDC, their 15% will be deducted frrom what is due to the Six member-states and transferred to their own account. So you see that your fears won't see the light of day. 1 Like |

Re: Senate Seeks Creation Of North East Development Commission by hopilo: 9:32am On Nov 25, 2015 |
TonyeBarcanista: Guy you are wrong in your assumption. the concluding statement is this This will be the contribution of the Federal Government to the commission. that means that if the total allocation monthly to the six states = 100 naira, FG will contribute 15naira from FG account to NEDC. soon they will need to do the same to NW, NC, SS, SE, SW. regions |
