The Minister of Regional Development, Engr. Abubakar Momoh, has urged the country's regional development commissions to focus on people-oriented projects to help address regional disparities, promote economic growth, and improve the quality of life for people in the regions.
The Minister, who spoke during a three-day retreat on institutional coordination for development organised by his Ministry in Lagos, said that despite the diverse nature of the region, the people have common environmental challenges
Momoh charged all the newly established Commissions with collaborating to leverage regional opportunities to expand intervention in health, education, and security and build more capacity.
The Minister urged the Commissions and development agencies to align their activities with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda. He underlined the eight presidential priorities: food security, poverty eradication, job creation, and the fight against corruption.
These commissions, Momoh explained, are designed to drive development and address regional disparities across the country.
“These commissions are set to accelerate development across their respective regions,” he stated.
He emphasised that his ministry remained focused on the Niger Delta, ensuring that the region receives the attention and resources it deserved for its development.
