“The people of Ngurore are direct beneficiaries of your good work, and we are here to say thank you,” he said. “These projects have touched critical areas of need, and we see the NEDC as a true partner in progress.”
Responding, Barr. Lawan thanked the delegation for the recognition, describing the award as both humbling and motivating. He reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to sustaining its development initiatives across Adamawa State.
“This award will spur us to work even harder to deliver more impactful projects to the people of Adamawa,” Lawan stated.
He also urged community members to take ownership of completed projects and ensure their proper use and maintenance.
“The NEDC builds these projects for you, the community. They belong to you. Protect them and make sure they serve their purpose for generations to come,” he advised.
The visit ended with an exchange of pleasantries, symbolizing a renewed partnership between the NEDC and the Ngurore community for continued grassroots development.
