Vice-President Kashim Shettima announced the establishment of new regional development commissions in Abuja, emphasizing innovation, collaboration, and effective mandate delivery. The initiative aims to leverage regional strengths and promote sustainable development across Nigeria’s diverse regions. Shettima highlighted the importance of these commissions in addressing local challenges while fostering national growth. The event took place during a meeting with officials in Abuja, where the focus was on strategic planning and resource allocation.
The new commissions are expected to enhance governance and economic development by bringing together local leaders, experts, and government agencies. Shettima stressed the need for transparency and accountability in managing these regional initiatives. The move comes as part of broader efforts to decentralize power and improve service delivery at the grassroots level.
According to sources, the development commissions will operate under the supervision of the federal government, with a mandate to implement policies tailored to each region’s unique needs. This marks a significant step in Nigeria’s ongoing reform agenda, aiming to bridge regional disparities and boost national cohesion. The initiative has drawn attention from local and international observers, who are closely monitoring its implementation.
