President Bola Tinubu has directed the release of funds to the North Central Development Commission and other regional development commissions to support economic and industrial growth. During the first North Central Stakeholders Development Summit in Abuja, the President emphasized that these commissions are central to his ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ and are intended to close development gaps.

In his directive to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, Tinubu warned the commissions against corruption, waste, and the misuse of public funds. He urged management to seek alternative financing, such as public-private partnerships and donor funding, rather than relying solely on government resources.
