Governor Radda also announced that discussions with AfDB covered the Special Agro-Processing Zones (SAPZ) phase 2 implementation strategies and the livestock development plan for the region, noting that “While the first phase included Kaduna and Kano States, all five Northwest states will be beneficiaries in the second phase.”

Governor Radda equally stated that the forum interfaced with the IRS on the renewable energy especially solar and CNG for sustainable and economic growth of the region, expressing readiness to tap from the available resources at the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) for the benefits of the region citizenry.

In a move to strengthen regional coordination, the Forum confirmed Ms. Maryam Musa Yahaya as its pioneer Director General. Ms. Yahaya brings into the new role her wealth of experience of engagement with international development partners as well as her working relationship with the State Governments at the Nigeria Govenors Forum (NGF) Secretariat.

“Each state governor has designated a focal person to coordinate development partner programs within their respective states,” stated Governor Radda.

“We have unanimously agreed to work together on economic development, agricultural advancement, addressing the challenge of out-of-school children, poverty alleviation, and youth employment,” Governor Radda emphasized.

“These are the focus areas of our various state administrations in the Northwest,” the Governor stressed.

Governor Radda concluded by affirming the Forum’s support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s initiatives, stating that “the whole Northwest State Governors are in support of the efforts of Mr. President and his initiatives to provide economic prosperity to our country Nigeria.”
