The Senate passed into law on Thursday the bill for the establishment of the North Central Development Commission, NCDC, sponsored by the senator representing Benue South Senatorial District and Senate Minority Leader, Abba Patrick Moro and the other senators from North Central Nigeria.

News360 Nigeria reports that 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 Senator Moro, where it passed first and second readings, but could not get presidential assent before the expiration of the 9th Senate.

Senator Moro had argued in his lead debate that the commission, when established, would be saddled with the responsibility of receiving and managing funds from the federal government and donors for the resettlement, rehabilitation, integration and reconstruction of roads, houses and business premises of flood victims.

He added that it would also address the farmers-herders clashes, communal clashes, construction of large format drainage systems, dredging of rivers Niger and Benue to control floods and incidental matters, as well as tackling the menace of poverty, illiteracy and other related environmental or developmental challenges facing North Central Nigeria.

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 Senator Moro and all those who contributed to the success of the bill.

He expressed optimism that President Tinubu would assent to the bill for the overall development of North Central Nigeria, which comprises Kogi, Niger, Benue, Kwara, Plateau, Nasarawa and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

there will be North East Development Commission (NEDC) to help the north east recover from boko haram insurgency.

North West Development Commission (NWDC) to help the north west recover from banditry.

several agencies duplicating the activities of ministries yet they say no money

It's now time for the Niger Delta to stand up and ask for break up of this country. Because NDDC was created for obvious reasons, every region is now asking for their own and soon 13% will be scrapped because the agitation that gave rise to these things has died down.

Food own, when

There's a NEDC in existence.

I think the West and the East needs to also sponsor their own bills for such.

My concern is where will their funds be pulled from because there's no local resources within their regions that significant funds can be gotten unlike that from the NDDC .

State governors are increasingly becoming useless. All the geopolitical zones will soon have their development commission, even though all these commissions are nothing but financial conduit pipes. A case in point is NDDC.

It's the responsibility of those who represents the Niger Delta region both in the Senate and HoR to ask that question where will the funds from such gotten from.
Because the NDDC gets it's funds from the oil revenue in the region.

Already there's a NEDC and one can't say where they get their funding and it's likely they are a parasitic establishment. So likewise will all the others.

From the "Cash cow" domiciled in the southern region.

Where will the source of funding comes from? They just keep drilling one region of her resources to develop others that have nothing to give.

Those who represents the Southern region both at the Senate and HoR are supposed to be asking such questions and standing against such parasitic establishments.

Waooooo. I love this game.

Funded from which source ?
The dumb politicians in this zone self destruct and want the money derived from the niger delta to be used to fund their irresponsibilities.

It is mandatory to develop all parts of the country, that aside, some regions contribute more to the to the nations wealth than others,

NDDC was formed based on the fact that, despite the Niger delta immense contribution to the nations wealth,it has been neglected, hence the formation of NDDC to bridge that gap

Why didn't they name (NDDC) Niger delta development commission as SOUTH SOUTH DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (SSDC) For a wider development.

Since we now have NCDC,NDDC need to be changed to SSDC South south development commission.

There's NEDC already established since Buhari tenure

Good development...

What resources will be used to back this commission because NDDC is wholly supported by the proceeds of the crude oil revenues generated from the Niger Delta; still wondering what resources will be used to support this new commission

Tinubu wants to implement Orasanya report so they can reduce the number of MDAs, but the senate is busy creating development commissions up and down. There's no synergy between the executive and legislature.
