Lagos, Nigeria – President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed new laws to establish development commissions for the South-West and South-South regions. These commissions will focus on improving infrastructure, boosting economic growth, and creating more job opportunities.

Senator Basheer Lado, the President’s Special Adviser on Senate Matters, announced the news on Tuesday. He said this step shows Tinubu’s dedication to fair development across all regions in Nigeria.

The South-West and South-South Development Commissions will work similarly to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and the recently approved South-East Development Commission. Their main goal is to support industrial growth, improve living conditions, and drive economic progress in their regions.

According to Lado, these commissions will help address long-standing infrastructure problems in two of Nigeria’s key economic zones. This move is part of Tinubu’s larger plan to spread development efforts across the country.

With the approval of these new commissions, Tinubu’s government is taking steps toward a more decentralized approach to development. While the exact timeline for implementation is not yet clear, officials believe this will lead to more targeted solutions for each region’s unique needs.

“This is about making sure that every part of Nigeria benefits from the government’s policies,” Lado added.

The signing of these bills follows Tinubu’s approval of the South-East Development Commission, showing his commitment to nationwide progress. Many Nigerians hope that these efforts will bring lasting improvements to infrastructure, job opportunities, and overall quality of life in the affected regions.
