President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed the much-anticipated bill establishing the North-Central Development Commission (NCDC).
The announcement was made by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during Tuesday’s plenary session. The new commission is expected to drive development efforts and address infrastructure deficits in the North-Central geopolitical zone, which has faced challenges ranging from insecurity to inadequate social amenities.
Further details about the commission’s operational framework and leadership appointments are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
