Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for signing the North West Development Commission Bill into law.
On Tuesday, the president signed bills creating the Northwest Development Commission, (NWDC) and the South East Development Commission, SEDC.
In a statement issued in Gusau, the spokesman of the Governor, Sulaiman Bala Idris, said that establishing the commission would create more opportunities for development in the North West.
The statement added that Governor Lawal hopes that the commission would quickly come into force to address the long years of underdevelopment being suffered by the region.
“I sincerely thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for signing the North West Development Commission bill into law.
“This demonstrates the president’s concern for the deeply distressed people of the North west region, who have endured years of banditry and related crimes.
The North-West Development Commission was established to help rebuild roads, houses, and businesses destroyed during the crises that affected the region.
“Its purpose also includes addressing poverty, low literacy levels, ecological problems, and other barriers to developing the North-West States”
“The governors of the Northwest have been collaborating effectively. Establishing the North West Development Commission is a positive step, and we will work together to ensure its success,” he stated.
