Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has stated that the Northwest Development Commission\u2019s mandates align with his administration\u2019s six-point rescue agenda.<\/p>\n

The governor stated this when the management of the Northwest Development Commission, NWDC, paid him a courtesy visit at the council chamber in the Government House, Gusau, the state capital.<\/p>\n

Last year, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu scrapped the Niger Delta Development Ministry and the Ministry of Sports Development with the creation of the Ministry of Regional Development.<\/p>\n

The newly created ministry is mandated to oversee all the regional development commissions, such as the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Northwest Development Commission, NWDC, Southwest Development Commission, SWDC, and Northeast Development Commission, NEDC.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Governor Dauda Lawal commended President Tinubu for establishing the Northwest Development Commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen His Excellency, President Bola Ahmad Tinubu, assented to the bill establishing the Northwest Development Commission last year, I believe I was the happiest person in the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cZamfara has been at the bottom of almost all developmental indices in the country and faces multi-faceted threats and challenges. With that in mind, I thank Mr. President again for this laudable initiative to revive the Northwest region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Governor Lawal noted that the visit by members of the commission presents an invaluable opportunity for collaboration in a shared vision to fast-track development in Zamfara State, one of the critical yet disadvantaged states in the Northwest region.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour mandates align with my administration\u2019s six-point rescue agenda: security, agriculture, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic empowerment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to assure you that we remain committed to working with your commission to ensure that you deliver on your mandate for the overall development of Zamfara State and the Northwest, which forms the most prominent political bloc in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy administration will provide you with all the necessary support you may require to facilitate your activities in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a final note, I welcome you to Zamfara State as I look forward to witnessing the immediate takeoff of your responsibilities in the state as outlined in your agenda, which includes addressing insecurity and ecological issues, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that addressing some of Zamfara\u2019s challenges, especially insecurity\u2014rooted in poverty, unemployment, and illiteracy, among others\u2014will translate into peace, stability, and general development of the region and the country at large.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Chairman of the Northwest Development Commission, Alhaji Lawan Isma\u2019ila Abdullahi Yakawada, stated that Zamfara State feels like home to him due to his strong relationship with the governor and the people of the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here for a courtesy visit to get acquainted. I told my colleagues that if it\u2019s Zamfara, it\u2019s easier for us than even Kaduna because I feel at home here.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour Excellency, this commission is your baby; fortunately, the Northwest is the biggest zone in the country. The challenges we face are vast. We have a 10-year development plan outlining what the zone intends to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n
