A press statement by the spokesman of the NDE Edmund Onwuliri, said the first phase of the tracer exercise, which is designed to examine the current status of NDE sponsored enterprises in the last 5 years (2009-2013), is slated to kick off this week in 12 states.
Onwuliri said the exercise also seeks to determine the robustness of the directorate’s training programmes for “self-employment, ascertaining the multiplier effects of the various businesses set up by the directorate and determine the adequacy or otherwise of NDE resettlement packages.”  
He said other objectives of the exercise include, “to identify problem(s) militating against the smooth operations of the enterprises, to determine factors that bother on timing and spread of various schemes within the 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria and to provide NDE Management with information that will guide it in repositioning the directorate for more efficient service delivery.”
According to him, the training of field officers and enumerators for the survey has been concluded at the headquarters and zonal offices of the NDE nationwide, stressing that the actual execution of the survey will hold simultaneously in Abia, Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Delta, Oyo, Ogun, Taraba, Bauchi, Benue, Kwara, Jigawa and Katsina states.
