The North Central Development Commission (NCDC) has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Nigerians across the country on the occasion of Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary, describing the milestone as an opportunity to reflect on the nation’s journey, consolidate its achievements and renew its commitment to building a more prosperous future.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, Dr.
Cyril Yiltsen Tsenyil, in a message on behalf of the Governing Board,
Management and Staff of the NCDC, said the 66th Independence Anniversary is a
historic occasion for Nigerians to reaffirm their commitment to the values,
ideals and aspirations upon which the nation was founded.
Dr. Tsenyil paid tribute to the founding fathers of the nation, as well
as past leaders who made significant sacrifices and served in various
capacities to promote the unity, peace and development of Nigeria despite the
challenges confronting the country at different periods.
He expressed confidence that the resilience, faith and determination of
Nigerians would continue to drive the country forward, stressing that the
collective efforts and aspirations of citizens would ultimately enable Nigeria
to overcome its challenges and attain its rightful place among the leading
nations of the world.
The NCDC Chief Executive also expressed confidence that the Renewed Hope
Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, particularly the establishment of
Regional Development Commissions, including the NCDC, would accelerate
development across the country through a more coordinated and regionally
responsive approach.
He said the NCDC remains committed to transforming the North Central
region by unlocking its vast untapped potential across critical sectors,
including agriculture, education, industrialisation, mineral development,
economic integration, youth development and entrepreneurship, among others.
Dr. Tsenyil urged citizens and stakeholders across the North Central
region to embrace and actively participate in the implementation of the
Commission’s 20-Year Strategic Development Plan, recently unveiled at the
inaugural NCDC Stakeholders Development Summit in Abuja, where it received
broad endorsement from key stakeholders within and outside the region
According to him, the plan provides a strategic framework for
sustainable economic, infrastructural and social transformation of the North
Central region and will require the collective commitment and participation of
governments, the private sector, development partners, traditional
institutions, communities and other stakeholders.
Dr. Tsenyil wished Nigerians, particularly citizens of the North Central
region, a peaceful and memorable 66th Independence Anniversary, while praying
for greater peace, unity, security and prosperity for the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
