North Central Development Commission News

Senate

The Senate passed into law on Thursday the bill for the establishment of the North Central Development Commission, NCDC, sponsored by the senator representing Benue South Senatorial District and Senate Minority Leader, Abba Patrick Moro and the other senators from North Central Nigeria.

The bill, which passed first and second readings on October 5, 2023, and February 21, 2024, respectively, was first sponsored in the 9th Senate by Senator Moro, where it passed first and second readings, but could not get presidential assent before the expiration of the 9th Senate.

He added that it would also address the farmers-herders clashes, communal clashes, construction of large format drainage systems, dredging of rivers Niger and Benue to control floods and incidental matters, as well as tackling the menace of poverty, illiteracy and other related environmental or developmental challenges facing North Central Nigeria. The passage of the bill followed the adoption of the report of the Senate Committee on Special Duties submitted during plenary.
