The North-East Development Commission (NEDC) has handed over the newly constructed Soro Cattle Market to the Bauchi State Government.
The commission handed over the market, which is one of the largest livestock markets in the region, today in Soro Ganjuwa Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
The Managing Director of the NEDC Mohammed Goni Alkali said the commission built the market to reduce congestion, accident and to boost livestock business in the region.
The Director Operations of the NEDC Yahaya Ahmed said the project is one among 101 projects awarded by the commission in the state.
He said the project will boost the revenue generation of the community, government at all levels and the entire region.
Similarly, the NEDC MD has summoned the contractor handling construction of some structures at the National Obstetrics Fistula Center in Ningi, Bauchi State for explanations.
Alkali said the need for the contractor to come to the NEDC headquarters for explanation became necessary because the commission needs to know what is causing delay in the completion of the projects.
He said the commission is desirous to see that both the surgical ward and the skills acquisition centre well equipped in order to facilitate treatment and rehabilitation of patients.
While inspecting the projects by the Site Engineer and the Management of the Centre, Goni Alkali expressed the desire of the NEDC to see that the facilities were put to use as soon as possible.
Alkali commended the management of the National Obstetrics Fistula Center in Ningi, Bauchi State for providing care for patients, assuring them that the commission will always support the center to meet its objectives.
