Today, I called upon my cabinet members to remain steadfast in their commitment to realizing the objectives set out in our blueprint. I made this appeal during the opening of our State Executive Council meeting at the Executive Chamber of Government House.
Addressing national issues, I expressed concern regarding the ongoing deliberations on the national tax reform law, which I believe may not adequately consider the interests of the northern region. As a united nation, Nigeria should avoid enacting laws that could potentially marginalize any part of our country.
I respectfully urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to withhold approval of any bill that may place certain regions at a disadvantage.
I am confident in the northern region’s ability to sustain its economy, thanks to our wealth of resources in agriculture and minerals. It is crucial that we establish policies that truly foster growth and development across the North.
Following my address, the Executive Council meeting proceeded in a closed-door session with members of the State Executive Council in attendance.
