The North West Caucus in the House of Representatives has applauded President Tinubu for his commitment to the region’s development, saying the Commission will bring much-needed investment, infrastructure, and jobs to the area.
The Caucus, led by Hon. Sada Soli, praised President Tinubu for his leadership and patriotism, saying the signing of the Bill has renewed the hopes of the people of the North West for a better Nigeria.
“The North West Development Commission is a game-changer for our region,” said Hon. Soli. “It will address the challenges of infrastructure, economic development, and social welfare that have held us back for so long.”We owe it to ourselves, our children, and our communities to make this work.”
The Commission’s mandate includes rebuilding and restoring infrastructure, promoting economic development, and improving social welfare in the North West geopolitical zone.
The North West lawmakers also appealed to the people of the region not to join a planned nationwide protest, saying it could disrupt the fragile peace and stability in the area.
The signing of the Bill has been hailed as a major achievement for President Tinubu’s administration, which has promised to prioritize development and security in the North West region.
“This Commission is, therefore, a tremendous boost to the valiant efforts of the governors of the North West geopolitical zone, and it has further justified our trust in President Tinubu’s commitment to help revamp this geopolitical zone and place it on a sound pedestal.”
The North West lawmakers appealed to the President to intensify efforts in addressing the security challenges still prevalent in the geopolitical zone, and other parts of the country at large.
“The signing of this Bill comes on the heels of the recent policy decisions that underline President Tinubu’s fervent patriotism, and his determination to ensure that growth and development permeate every region of the country. One recalls the recent Supreme Court ruling supporting local government autonomy which has been hailed by the Northern Governors Forum for its potential to energize development at the grassroots.
“We, the House of Representatives North West Caucus, are particularly gratified with the signing of the North-West Development Commission Bill, which was sponsored by the Deputy Senate President, Distinguished Senator Jibrin Barau, in the effort to ginger the economic and social development of the geopolitical zone and restore parity to a people who for years were forced to watch as their lands were ravaged by the gratuitous violence of bandits and other miscreants.”
“A broader security sector reform will enable our people to return to their normal lives, leading to positive changes in economic development and social order.
“On behalf of the members of the entire members of the North West Caucus in the House of Representatives and the millions of people we represent, we wish to thank President Tinubu for his abiding efforts in leading this country through difficult times and to appeal to Nigerians to continue to give this government their unalloyed support.
