Group Applauds Senate for Delaying NWDC Board Confirmation

By  Milcah   Tanimu

The Northern Christian Youth Professionals (NCYP) have expressed their approval of the Nigerian Senate’s decision to suspend the confirmation of the newly formed North-West Development Commission (NWDC) board. In a statement released on Monday, NCYP Chairman Isaac Abrak called on President Bola Tinubu to prioritize inclusive representation in the board’s appointments, especially by incorporating Christians.

Abrak noted that the Senate’s action demonstrated a commitment to fairness and equity in the region. He urged President Tinubu to engage in consultations with Christian leaders and regional stakeholders to select qualified individuals for the board. The group also reaffirmed its support for the president and his leadership, encouraging Nigerians to do the same.

This move is seen as a step towards ensuring diversity and balance in key government appointments.
