“The North-West Development Commission is being established to help rebuild roads, houses, and businesses destroyed during the crises that affected the region,” said Lawal. “Its purpose also includes addressing poverty, low literacy levels, ecological problems, and other barriers to developing the North-West states.”

Governor Lawal emphasised the effective collaboration among the governors of the North-West states and expressed optimism about the positive impact of the NWDC. “The Governors of the North-West have been collaborating effectively and establishing the North-West Development Commission is a positive step. We will work together to ensure its success.”

The creation of the NWDC is seen as a crucial move to revitalise the North-West region, which has suffered from years of banditry and related criminal activities. By addressing the infrastructural and socio-economic challenges, the NWDC aims to foster sustainable development and improve the quality of life for the people in the region.
