Ex Nasarawa Commissioner hails Tinubu assent to NCDC Law *** Calls for unity of purpose in the region

By David Odama

The former Commissioner of Information, Culture and Tourism in Nasarawa state, Dogo Shammah has hailed the signing into law of the North Central Development Commission (NCDC) by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu describing it as a milestone development for the geo political region.

This is even as he has called for a unity of purpose irrespective of religion, ethnicity and political inclinations within the region in order to collectively achieve the purpose for which the commission is meant for.

Shammah in a statement said the commission will no doubt serve as a game changer for the region warning against trivializing or bringing in political sentiment to drive the commission concept.

“You recall that president of the Nigeria Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio announced on Tuesday during plenary the coming onboard of the commission, which I believe will provide sustainable life achievements to citizenry”

“I believe that the NCDC will be a game changer for the region which have not in the past felt the presence of Federal Government projects execution as enjoyed by other regions.

It is no more a doubt that the sponsor of the bill, member representing Akwanga /N.Eggon and Wamba federal constituency at the National Assembly Hon. Jerry Umaru, has again proved his commitment to the well being of his constituents as a people’s ambassador at the National Assembly.

” His consistent engagements at the floor of the National Assembly always makes your constituents proud as you have proved your worthiness and competence.

I believe that the NCDC will strengthen the economy and infrastructural development of the zone as well as accelerate social engagements for the well-being of the people of the North Central Zone.

May I also use this forum to commend the Governor of Nasarawa State, Eng. A.A Sule, for his continued support to Jeremiah J. Umaru, member representing Akwanga-Nasarawa Eggon and Wamba Federal Constituency.

The citing of the headquarters of the commission in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital is a well thought choice considering the peaceful and friendly nature of Nasarawa.
