The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) will develop a plan for the rebuilding of northern Nigeria, the President, Dr. Ahmad Mohamed Ali, has said.

He spoke at IDB’s headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, when he received five governors from the Northern Nigerian States Governors Forum (NGSGF).

The delegation, led by Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima, included Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufa’i of Kaduna State, Umar Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State and Muhammad Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa State.

Ali said: “We will work to come up with a comprehensive and constructive plan to support northern Nigeria. “We will start with education, particularly bilingual education and other areas, such as job creation.

“Before you leave Jeddah, I will like to have a list of your priorities, from education to power, agriculture and so on.”

Governor Shettima said: “In Nigeria, poverty wears a northern face.”

He said the purpose of their visit was to explore avenues to enhance development.

The governor said the region suffered joblessness, low access to education and health care, despite abundant resources.

His words: “It’s a giant with a feet of clay.”

Governor El-Rufa’i told the IDB president that the Northeast required intervention in education, electricity and poverty reduction, adding that insurgency caused poverty.

IDB’s Vice President (operations) Dr. Mansur Muhtar said IDB would look into areas of intervention, particularly in the development of infrastructure, which is a priority in the bank’s 10-year development strategy.

He thanked the delegation for visiting IDB, hoping that it will create a partnership to mobilise resources for the region’s development.

We need money to build the North anyway and the people are already Muslim. Maybe your Goodluck fawning brain does not realise that yet. I here better stories about the Islamic bank than satanic illuminati and all other stories I hear about western banks. Or maybe you don't want the place rebuilt , now that is very very dangerous for the south and even your phantom self deceitful and dead Biafra. If we don't do what we need to do now, you cannot stop these guys when they head south. Please take that from me.

Nice development. Check out below

Dude I don't believe illuminati/ freemason stories as much as I don't believe the evil of Islamic banking stories. Money is money and Nigeria is broke . I was just responding to jokers saying that taking Islamic money to develop an Islamic area of Nigeria is bad. IDB loans have been taken by Nigerian state governments since the 60s. Nigeria has big things going on that area. Mambila plateau is the best agricultural zone in Nigeria that is GDP growth from farming and agro allied industries. Mambila Hydro electric will generate 5000MW of electricity. So many things but schools have to be open and people have to be resettled . The welfare of Nigeria and the black man is a more important thing than parochial, tribalistic, brain dead thinking.
Like Abuja, if that place us reconstructed and booming, the Ibos would be the first to invest even more in the place for their own growth so what are we talking about.

lt is good they go source for resources from an lslamic institution to rebuild their region which has been messed up by their own interpretations of the religion.
