The Senate, on Thursday, passed for third reading, the bill seeking the establishment of the North Central Development Commission.

The bill was sponsored by the senator representing Benue South Senatorial District and Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro, and other senators from the North Central region.

The bill, which passed first and second readings on October 5, 2023, and February 21, 2024 respectively was first sponsored in the 9th Senate by Moro where it passed first and second readings but could not get presidential assent before the expiration of the 9th Senate. The passage of the bill followed the adoption of the report of the Senate Committee on Special Duties submitted during plenary.

The Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, who presided over the plenary congratulated Moro and all those who contributed to the success of the bill. https://punchng.com/senate-passes-north-central-development-commission-bill/

thunder go fire you sir

We have the NDDC in the South-South.

North-East and South-East have got their development commissions too.

Now it is the North-Central,
...remaining South-West and North-West.

Step by step, we are getting closer to regional system of government.

Another conduit pipe for looting.

Nigeria from A to Z is underdeveloped, maybe we should create Nigeria Development Commission to develop Nigeria.

Remaining South Eadt and North West

You know what? South West would naturally tag along. Gbammmmm! We have regional Government already then!!!!

When we told you each region has their perculair issues, dem say no

So every region will now have their own development commission instead of restructuring the country back to true federalism?

MASTAkiLLAh:

Definitely that's the target of every region in nigeria

Stand up and be counted

We are gradually returning to regional govt
