Tinubu Urges NCDC to Innovate for North Central Development
On September 15, 2026, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu challenged the North Central Development Commission (NCDC) to move away from ineffective development strategies during the first Stakeholders Development Summit held at the Abuja Continental Hotel. Represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, Tinubu stated that the NCDC was established under his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda to accelerate development in the region.
He warned against the commission becoming an agency for “business as usual” and emphasized its role in identifying and addressing persistent development gaps. Tinubu pledged political and financial backing for the NCDC to undertake key projects aimed at unlocking the economic potential of the nation.
Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule, who chairs the North Central Governors Forum, expressed support for the NCDC, highlighting the region's abundant resources and the need for local processing to enhance economic value. The summit's theme focused on a 20-year development plan for the North Central region.
