The Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) has a statutory mandate as captured in its establishment Act No. 23 of 2003 (as amended in 2006), to address socio-economic challenges and infrastructural deficits of over 3,000 Border Communities spanning 105 local Government Areas across 21 States of the federation having international boundary. These communities often lack basic social services and infrastructure, forcing them to rely on neighbouring countries for essential needs. BCDA has intensified its developmental interventions in Nigeria’s Border Communities in line with the “Renewed Hope Agenda” of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
