The Turakin Keana, Prince Mark Elayo, has said that the establishment of the North-Central Development Commission (NCDC) will be a game-changer in addressing the region’s security and developmental challenges.

He disclosed this in a chat with LEADERSHIP Sunday, describing the assent to the NCDC Bill 2024 by President Bola Tinubu as a long-awaited relief for a region battered by banditry and intercommunal violence.

Prince Elayo emphasised that the commission’s establishment would accelerate infrastructure reconstruction, economic recovery and peacebuilding efforts across the North Central states.

“This commission is a foundation for sustainable development for us. We have endured prolonged destruction due to banditry and sectarian conflicts. With the NCDC, we can begin the reconstruction of our communities and restore hope, just as the North-East Development Commission did for their region,” he said.

In what appears to be a strategic focus for the new commission, Prince Elayo hinted at key areas of immediate intervention, including security, infrastructure rehabilitation and grassroots development.

Speaking on the operational structure of the commission, he urged leaders of the North Central states to prioritize inclusivity when deciding on the location of its headquarters.

“This decision should not be driven by politics but by geographical and strategic considerations that will foster a true sense of belonging among all member states,” he advised.

Prince Elayo called on stakeholders across the region to seize this opportunity to elevate the North Central to a position of national relevance.

“We must rise up, come together, and work collectively to ensure the commission effectively and efficiently serves our common interest. This initiative by the president shows his commitment to the welfare of all Nigerians, and we must reciprocate by playing our part diligently,” he said.

The Turakin Keana commended the governors and lawmakers from the North Central region, acknowledging their relentless efforts in advocating for the commission’s establishment.

“Their dedication has brought this long-awaited dream to fruition. Now, we must ensure that it succeeds and delivers the development and peace our people desperately need,” he added.

Policy analysts believe the NCDC could be pivotal in stabilizing and developing a region that has long struggled with insecurity and poor infrastructure.

They note that the commission’s success will depend largely on transparent management, regional cooperation, and adequate funding.

With renewed optimism and strategic planning, stakeholders are hopeful that the NCDC will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity for the North Central region.
