Youth Group Insists Appointment into Governing Board of NWDC, A Letdown of Tinubu’s Avowed Government of Inclusivity

Northern Christian Youth Professionals has lambasted the omission of any known Christian from the latest released list of members of the Governing Board of the North West Development Commission, insisting that: “This omission is a clear departure from the President’s claim leadership of inclusivity, fair representation, and equality.”
The group in a signed statement on Saturday by its Chairman, Isaac Abrak said: “We are compelled to express our deep disappointment and concern over President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s adjusted appointments to the governing board of the North West Development Commission, which once again excluded Christians from representation.
“This omission is a clear departure from the President’s claim leadership of inclusivity, fair representation, and equality. We call for Christians to be appointed to the 11 offices of the board. This is essential for fair representation, ensuring the commission’s acceptability in the region, and enabling it to deliver on its mandate.
“We urge the Senate not to inaugurate these appointees, as doing so would perpetuate the exclusion of Christians and potentially sow seeds of religious discord in a region that has made significant strides in overcoming insecurity and inter-religious crisis.
“As a group that not only supports the President but also campaigned for his election, we strongly advise him to be mindful of any actions that might hinder the region’s progress. We reiterate our call for the President to include Christians on the board, ensuring that the commission truly represents the diverse population of the North West region.
“We believe that inclusive representation is crucial for the commission’s success and the region’s continued growth. We once hope that the President will take our concerns seriously and take prompt action to address this imbalance.”
