The North-East Governors’ Forum has expressed concern over the neglect of the North-East in the allocation of federal government capital projects, particularly the poor state of road and railway infrastructure along the economic corridors that link the zone to the rest of the country.

These were some key resolutions contained in a communique issued and read by Governor AHMADU FINTIRI of Adamawa State at the end of the close session of the 10th North-East Governors’ Forum in Bauchi State. 

The forum called on the federal government to prioritize the reconstruction of these critical infrastructure projects.

It also noted with dismay the prolonged power blackout experienced by the zone and the nonchalant attitude of the Transmission Company of Nigeria in addressing the issue.
