Nigerian President Signs North West Development Commission Bill into Law
In a significant move aimed at reviving the North West region of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu has signed the North West Development Commission Bill into law. The bill was sponsored by Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau, who hailed the presidential assent as a crucial step towards addressing the region’s dilapidated infrastructure.
According to Barau, the commission will mitigate the poor state of infrastructure in the region, which has been ravaged by Boko Haram and banditry. The commission’s establishment is expected to bring relief to the region, which is a major food producer in the country.
In a statement, President Tinubu emphasized his commitment to the people of the North West region, stating that his administration is dedicated to developing the entire country. The President’s foresight and goodwill in establishing the commission have been praised by Nigerians, who are eager to see the region revitalized.
Deputy Senate President Barau appealed to Nigerians to cooperate with the President, citing his achievements in Lagos as an example of his leadership. He emphasized the need for patience and continued prayers for the President, who has only just completed his first year in office.
The signing of the bill into law is seen as a major boost for the North West region, which has been plagued by poverty, insecurity, and underdevelopment. With the establishment of the commission, the region is expected to receive much-needed attention and investment, paving the way for its resurgence as a major food producer in the country.
