Diaspora digital media (DDM) gathered that the move has been widely praised for its potential to spur development in the region.
The new law aims to address the long-standing neglect of the North-Central states.
It will facilitate infrastructural growth and drive economic transformation in the region.
The North-Central All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum expressed gratitude to the president for his swift response.
The forum emphasized that the commission will ensure the region receives the attention and development it has long been denied.
The forum’s chairman, Saleh Zazzaga, lauded Tinubu’s leadership and commitment to regional development.
He noted that concerns over the region’s exclusion from the proposed 2025 budget had raised fears of marginalization.
With the creation of the North-Central Development Commission, the government is set to drive key initiatives.
These initiatives will focus on boosting economic development, enhancing infrastructure, and improving the overall quality of life for residents.
The commission will oversee projects designed to stimulate industrial growth and upgrade road networks.

Zazzaga described the new law as a major step toward correcting historical imbalances in the region.
He stressed that North-Central states should not be left behind in national efforts.
The commission’s mandate will include targeted interventions in agriculture, commerce, and social welfare.
These interventions are crucial for fostering economic prosperity and stability in the region.
“The North-Central region has suffered years of neglect,” Zazzaga stated.
He added that the new law provides hope for sustained development in the area.
Zazzaga also emphasized the importance of monitoring and accountability in managing funds allocated to the commission.
The North-Central Development Commission will collaborate with state governments, private sector stakeholders, and international partners.
This collaboration will accelerate development projects across the region and drive economic growth.
The commission will serve as a catalyst for job creation, entrepreneurship, and investment opportunities.
Its efforts will ultimately reduce poverty and enhance economic resilience in the North-Central states.
President Tinubu’s decision to sign the bill into law is being viewed as a commitment to fairness and inclusive governance.
His administration has demonstrated a willingness to address past grievances and promote balanced national growth.
Zazzaga reaffirmed the forum’s support for Tinubu’s administration and commended his leadership.
He stated, “Today, we feel vindicated for supporting President Tinubu in the 2023 election.”
He added that the president has listened to their concerns and taken a bold step toward regional development.
With the establishment of the North-Central Development Commission, expectations are high for unprecedented development in the region.
The commission is expected to bring lasting benefits to the people of North-Central Nigeria.
