Nigeria, Nov. 11 -- The Nigerian Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) has sought partnership with PREMIUM TIMES to foster transparency and strengthen its monitoring and evaluation process across the country.

The agency's Executive Secretary, Junaid Abdullahi, said this last Wednesday during a courtesy visit to PREMIUM TIMES headquarters in Abuja.

He said that the collaboration would also enable the agency "to tell its own story and enlighten the public".
