Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has said the vision behind the creation of new regional development commissions is to further unlock and harness the unique strengths and opportunities in the various regions for Nigeria’s collective prosperity. The VP noted that collaboration was also key in the realisation of the mandate of the South West Development Commission and the improvement of the livelihood of the people. I urge you to reach out to the other regional development commissions and share ideas that will transform the fortunes of our various regions.” The Vice President urged the commission and other regional development bodies to be guided by integrity, innovation and results, reiterating the Federal Government’s support for every genuine effort that advances regional development and national prosperity. Earlier, the chairman of the commission’s board, Senator Adetunmbi, commended the Tinubu administration, noting with admiration the government’s economic and structural reforms that culminated in the creation of the regional development commissions, among other benefits.
