He said: “Let me also inform my colleagues that Mr President has also assented to the North-Central Development Commission establishment bill 2024, to bring development to the grassroots.
“And for this, we congratulate the good people of the North-Central region of Nigeria, and we wish them more development and particularly peace, as we forge ahead in the task of nation-building.”
