Tinubu signs N’West Development Commission bill

President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, assented to the North West Development Commission Bill.

This was disclosed to journalists by the Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau, who sponsored the bill.

Barau commended the President for granting assent, noting that the commission would address the deleterious state of infrastructural facilities in the North-West region destroyed by Boko Haram.

He said. “The President has signed the North-West Development Commission Bill into law.

“It has come to light that the commission is going to assist in developing the North-West.

“You are all aware of the development of that zone that is at the forefront of food production in this country, but it has been ravaged recently by the activities of Boko Haram that have destroyed health, education, and infrastructures. With this commission, we can rebuild this region.

“Mr. President has shown that he loves the people of this region, and whatever is done for the North-West,  he has done for the entire country because we are all interconnected.

“He has shown that he has the foresight and the goodwill to develop this country. I appeal to Nigerians to cooperate with him. He has been showing us what he did in Lagos. We appreciate what he has done.

“What he has done is a demonstration that he is a leader to be trusted. We have to be patient with him. We know that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Let us continue to pray for him. This is just his one year. Let us support him.”
