A Plan for Jere
This is Mohammed Nur Deribe’s plan for Jere Federal Constituency, set out in full in The Jere Blueprint. It is built on listening to the people of Jere, focused on making the constituency productive again, and grounded in practical, achievable action.
The Priorities
Each of the six priorities above is shown with a short summary. The full detail for every section is in the manifesto. The complete manifesto is available to download.
Infrastructure and Public Services
Roads, power, and water decide whether daily life in Jere is livable or a daily struggle. When the roads into the Jere Bowl fail, farmers watch their produce spoil before it reaches the markets of Maiduguri. Nur Deribe will press for Jere’s roads, power, water, and healthcare to be captured in the federal programmes that reach it, so daily life and the local economy can move.
education & youth
Jere’s young people are its greatest asset, and developing that asset is one of the surest routes to a productive constituency. He will work through the national education bodies to rehabilitate schools, address the teacher shortfall, and support scholarships, with particular determination behind girl-child education. And he will push for the vocational and digital skills that give a young person in Jere the means to build a sustainable livelihood.
Jobs and Economic Development
Jere sits beside one of the largest markets in the North East, and that proximity should mean far greater prosperity for its people. Nur Deribe will work to improve the conditions that let trade thrive, and to draw the industries, investment, and agro-processing that put young people into lasting employment. He will also press for the constituency’s fair share of federal and state jobs and placements that too often pass it by.
Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods
Farming carries Jere, yet the farmer too often does the hardest work for the smallest reward. He will work to get inputs and mechanisation to genuine farmers, build reliable links to buyers, and push for local processing and storage so more of the value in Jere’s harvest stays in the constituency. It is a model he already runs through his own agricultural venture.
Women and Inclusion
The women of Jere are its traders and its farmers, its graduates, teachers, and entrepreneurs, and yet they are too often the last to be planned for. Nur Deribe will lobby for a dedicated women’s enterprise and skills fund, and ensure women hold genuine seats in the decisions that shape their communities. A constituency that invests in the women who already hold it together is investing in its own future.
Security and Community Safety
No agenda for Jere can be honest without facing this first, in a constituency that has lived through what the insurgency did to Borno. He will work to strengthen the link between security agencies, traditional institutions, and the community structures already holding the line, backing intelligence-led methods over heavy-handed ones. And because the most lasting security is economic, the roads, schools, and jobs in this plan are themselves part of the answer.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Every year that nothing changes, Jere pays for it. It pays in roads that make it harder for farmers to reach their fields and traders to reach the market. It pays in homes and farmland damaged when drainage fails during the rainy season. It pays in streets that fall dark when power is unreliable, in students whose learning is interrupted, and in health facilities that struggle to provide care without dependable electricity. These costs do not appear in a government budget, but they are paid every day by the people of Jere, in lost income, lost learning, and time that cannot be recovered. This election is about whether Jere continues to bear those costs, or decides they are no longer acceptable.
Built by Listening
The priorities in this plan came from the people of Jere, and they keep being shaped by what the campaign hears through Jere Speaks. Listening is not the end of the work. It is where the work begins.
