NWDC's Professor Ma’aji Receives Support from House Committee

The House of Representatives Committee on North West Development Commission commended the Management of the Commission, led by Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Professor Shehu Abdullahi Ma’aji, for their initiatives to promote rapid development in the North West region. This commendation occurred during a meeting in Abuja chaired by Rt. Hon. Sulaiman Abubakar Gumi (Rep, Gummi/Bukkuyum).

The committee pledged continued support for the Commission's mandate and addressed operational challenges, including the slow pace of budget implementation over the past one and a half years, attributed to the challenges of establishing a new institution. Professor Ma’aji expressed gratitude for the committee's oversight and support, emphasizing the commitment to enhance effectiveness and transparency.

He outlined initial interventions in the security sector and plans to extend efforts to healthcare, education, agriculture, infrastructure, human capital development, and economic empowerment. The MD also discussed resource mobilization strategies, including a recent collaborative visit to the Russian Federation, which resulted in commitments for financing various initiatives.
