According to him, “the region has contributed immensely to the overall development of Nigeria in terms of agriculture and other areas of endeavours yet it remains hugely underdeveloped.”
The sponsor, Senator Barau Jibrin , submitted that the rivalry among the six geo-political zones to individually develop themselves through commissions was a healthy competition that would engender rapid growth of the regions.
He noted that what the region currently needs from the Federal Government was support to develop its infrastructure and educate its teeming youths to drive the process of developing the zone in its entirety to be at par with the more developed ones nationwide. His words: “The sad fact is that majority of these youths are uneducated in a region that has the highest out-of-school children in the country.
“The enactment of this bill will help to rebuild the North West zone and provide opportunity for the people of the zone to display their talents and contribute immensely to the development of the country.
