The Senate and House of Representatives Committees on the North-West Development Commission (NWDC), in collaboration with the North-West Development Commission, is to convene a One-day North-West Stakeholders’ Development Summit next week in Kaduna, Kaduna State.
The theme is “Advancing a Coordinated Regional Development Agenda for North-West Nigeria.
According to the Chairmen of the Senate and House of Representatives Committees on the North-West Development Commission, the summit is expected to bring together key stakeholders from across the seven North-West states to jointly reflect on the region’s development challenges and align priorities for sustainable growth.
“The North-West faces complex and interconnected challenges ranging from insecurity and infrastructure gaps to youth unemployment and social development deficits. These issues cannot be addressed in silos. This summit provides a platform for honest dialogue, shared ownership, and coordinated action,” the Committees stated.
The Senate and House of Representatives Committees noted that outcomes from the summit would help guide the North-West Development Commission’s programmes and interventions, while also fostering stronger partnerships among stakeholders committed to the development of the region.
