FG says $2 million spent on North-East recovery projects
Mohammed Danjuma, the national coordinator of the Multi-Sectoral Crisis Recovery Project for North-East Nigeria (MCRP), said about $2 million had been spent on projects in the region.
On Wednesday, Mr Danjuma revealed this at a workshop to inaugurate the research and institutional support programme under component three of the MCRP additional financing in Abuja.
He disclosed that the money was spent in response to cases across the affected states in the region, adding that capacity enhancement would be one of the critical instruments needed in the affected states.
“We are also giving scholarships to 60 masters’ degree in thematic areas that are relevant to the capacity speed in the North-East and 30 Doctor of Philosophy scholarships for tertiary institutions that are located in the three states,” the official said.
The MCRP coordinator stated that plans were underway to support the institutions with instruments to aid research.
The Yobe state MCRP coordinator, Musa Jidawa, said the project was moving towards recovery, which involved many collaborations and that “resources of knowledge from the academic institutions to practicability of research will add value to the process of recovery so that we can get back to where we were and even beyond.”
Mr Jidawa added, “With this now, we can fuse between research and practical application of knowledge to solve human problems.”
