The North-East Development Commission (NEDC) is the focal organization charged with the responsibility to assess, co-ordinate, harmonies and report on all intervention programs, and initiatives by the Federal Government or any of its Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), States; and other Development Partners and for the implementation of all programs and initiatives for the North East states; Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, Yobe, respectively.
An Act establishing North-East Development Commission (NEDC) was signed on 25th October, 2017.
The NEDC “among other things, is to receive and manage funds from allocation of the Federal Account and international donors for the settlement, rehabilitation and reconstruction of roads, houses and business premises of victims of insurgency as well as tackling menace of poverty, illiteracy level, ecological problems and any other related environmental or developmental challenges in the North-East states”.
The establishment Act further mandates the NEDC to coordinate “the resettlement, rehabilitation, integration and reconstruction of infrastructure for victims and terrorism as well as tackling the menace of poverty, illiteracy, ecological challenges in the North-Eastern states and other related matter”.
Vision
The vision of the NEDC is to develop the North East Region of Nigeria into a safe, economically vibrant, ICT driven 21st Century region. In line with that vision, the NEDC, in partnership with selected institutions has established ICT Resource Training Centres across the North with the vision of training the residents of the North East states on highly-demand ICT skills.
We offer a range of training packages in a range of subject areas to offer blended learning opportunities to best meet the needs of our target audience.
The NEDC’s vision leverages a robust local content-driven ICT industry that delivers Social and Economic Services to the people of the North East through her trained participants.
It is expected that this will, in turn, create more jobs across the region and promote the development of human capacity.
The training will focus on enhancing literacy and skill acquisition modules for youths drawn from different sectors of the community and catchment areas around the centres.
Each participant would be trained on Entrepreneurship, Computer Appreciation and Basic Accounting Module, after which participants are grouped into two (based on choice and personal capabilities).
While one of the two groups will train on Graphics Design Classes, the other will train on Smartphone Repairs.
We offer a range of training packages in a range of subject areas to offer blended learning opportunities to best meet the needs of our target audience.
