Yesterday, I had the honour of attending the Northwest Stakeholders Summit as an invited guest, a high-level engagement organized by the Joint Committees of the Northwest Development Commission in the Senate and the House of Representatives, held at Murtala Muhammed Square, Kaduna.

I participated not only as the Chairman of NWDC, but as a stakeholder deeply interested in the progress of our region. The summit represented a critical political and developmental moment for the Northwest — a rare platform where leadership, experts, and citizens converged to interrogate the pressing challenges confronting our zone and to design a coherent roadmap for sustainable recovery and growth.

The discussions were frank and purposeful. They acknowledged the security, economic, and social realities facing the Northwest, while also projecting a future built on strategic planning, institutional accountability, and regional solidarity. It was reassuring to see a strong commitment toward aligning the Commission’s mandate with the real needs of the people, ensuring that development is not abstract, but measurable in improved livelihoods and strengthened communities.

Equally significant was the emphasis on public sensitization. A commission of this magnitude must be understood by the people it serves. Citizens and stakeholders must see themselves as partners in progress, not spectators. The Northwest is endowed with immense human and material resources, and by properly harnessing our comparative advantages, we can reposition the region as a driver of national stability and economic strength.

I commend the organizers for extending the invitation and for creating a platform that encouraged honest dialogue and visionary thinking. There is much to reflect upon and even more to implement. The success of this summit will ultimately depend on political will, disciplined ex*****on, and sustained engagement with the people.

The Northwest cannot afford incremental progress. The moment demands bold action, unity of purpose, and leadership that is accountable to history. I leave the summit more convinced than ever that our region possesses both the capacity and the collective spirit to overcome its trials and claim its rightful place in Nigeria’s development story.

O Allah, the Turner of hearts,
