Addressing Senate Correspondents, the Deputy President of the Senate said the commission, when established, would help to drive development across the seven states in the zone - Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa Sokoto and Zamfara States.
He said: " President Bola Tinubu today signed into law the North West Development Commission Bill sponsored by me.
" The Commission will assist in developing geopolitical zones in terms of required infrastructure, production of food, etc.
" It would be recalled that Boko Haram, kidnappers and bandits ravaged the zone like the North East with attendant drop in development indices.
" With the consent to the bill, the coast is now clear for rebuilding of the zone.
" President Tinubu has, no doubt, shown that he loves the people, and in the light of this, I called on Nigerians to be patient with Mr President".
