The federal government has unveiled a five-year National Regional Development Policy aimed at providing a strategic framework for the operations of nation’s regional development commissions.
Regional Development Minister, Abubakar Momoh, who disclosed this yesterday at the State House, Abuja, said the policy became necessary after the inauguration of the first batch of regional development commissions in February 2025 and a second batch in August 2025.
He noted that the ministry had operated without a formal policy framework despite growing engagement with stakeholders and development partners.
