Chairman of the Senate Committee on South East Development Commission, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, commended the President for the appointments, urging the commissions to adopt innovative approaches.

“Tarring roads is no longer fashionable. What is fashionable is building railway stations, power plants, and cottage industries that provide jobs,” Kalu said.

Similarly, Chairman of the Senate Committee on North West Development Commission, Senator Babagida Husseini assured the commissions of the Senate’s oversight role, while commending President Tinubu’s strategic selection of competent board members.

“We will chase the money, prepare your budget, and ensure Nigerians get value for every naira spent,” Husseini stated.

“Our goal is to contribute to the overall development of the region through impactful, high-value projects that create jobs,” Wogu pledged.

Managing Director of SEDC, Mark Okoye, highlighted the historic significance of the commission’s establishment.

For his part, the Managing Director of NWDC, Prof. Abdullahi Shehu Ma’aji, pledged to harness the North-West’s resources to promote growth and improve living conditions.

“Our mandate is clear: promote economic growth, improve infrastructure, and enhance the quality of life for our citizens,” Ma’aji said.

The event concluded with a renewed commitment to transparency, innovation, and impactful governance.
