FG pushes unified master plans for regional development

The Federal Government has called on regional development commissions to create master plans that can be harmonized into a regional development compass. This directive was given by the Minister of Regional Development, Abubakar Momoh, during the NDDC 2026 Partners for Sustainable Development Conference. Momoh emphasized the importance of a unified approach to regional development, stating that a common view of priorities supported by reliable data will enable the government to identify gaps, sequence interventions, and avoid concentrating projects in certain areas while neglecting others.

He also urged the development commissions to follow the NDDC's lead in developing their master plans, which will receive approval from the Federal Executive Council.
