The forum stated this while urging President Bola Tinubu to expeditiously give assent to the North Central Development Commission (NCDC) Bill after its anticipated concurrence by the House of Representatives.
Recall that the Senate passed the NCDC Bill recently. The bill will cater to states in the North Central, made up of Plateau, Nassarawa, Kogi, Benue, Niger, Kwara, and Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Reacting to the Bill’s passage by the red chamber, NCPF chairman Engr. Sani Ndanusa said it came at the most appropriate time, “to assist towards rapid socio-economic development of the North Central zone of Nigeria, which had suffered great setbacks and neglect in the past.”
