North East Regional Initiative: A Lasting Legacy

NERI worked with Airtel, a private tecommunications

company in Nigeria, to restore mobile phone

connectivity in key areas in Borno State. These include Monguno, Damasak, Mafa, Dikwa and Gamboru Ngala. In addition to improved communications capability across the communities, it has also been a springboard for economic activities.

A NERI grant financed capacity-building initiatives and the purchase of office equipment for Michika Youth Integrity Initiative to develop, implement and manage projects to help foster peace and security awareness among youth in Michika LGA, Adamawa State.
