The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria, KACRAN, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider increasing the annual budget of the North-East Development Commission to effectively implement a post-insurgency recovery drive in the region.

The Association through its National President, Khalil Mohd Bello made the call in a statement issued to newsmen in Damaturu on Friday.

He believes an increased budget would empower the Commission’s governing board to continue its vital work in reconstruction, development and support for internally displaced persons who have suffered immensely due to insurgency.

Bello added that the NEDC’s commitment is evident in its support for security operations through the provision of utility vehicles and essential materials, which have significantly bolstered the fight against insurgency.

“This support has led to marked improvements in regional security, with the North-East no longer being characterized as the epicentre of insecurity in the Northern part of Nigeria”, he said.

The KACRAN’s National President noted the unprecedented contribution of the NEDC in augmenting the policies and programs initiated by the Federal Government, which he said have been vital to the region’s advancement over the past four decades.

“The Commissions proactive stance on matters critical to regional security and the welfare of its inhabitants is a testament to its potential as a transformative entity for the North East and its people”,

“KACRAN itself has benefited from the NEDC’s assistance through the provision of relief materials, water sources, and livestock feed, as well as support for members affected by cattle rustling or insurgency”, he said.
