The Northern Christian Youths Professionals (NCYP) has faulted in its entirety, the recent appointments to the board of directors of the North West Development Commission (NWDC).
In a press statement from the organisation, signed by its chairman, Isaac Abrak and made available to journalists in Abuja Thursday, the association said: “We are deeply concerned about the recent appointments to the board of directors of the NWDC by President Bola Tinubu.
Unfortunately, these appointments do not reflect the diversity of the region, as no Christians from the six states were selected.
For the sake of inclusivity and fair representation, it is imperative that Christians are appointed to the commission. The current situation is unacceptable and perpetuates marginalization. We urge President Tinubu to reassess these appointments and make necessary adjustments to ensure balanced representation.
“Leaving these appointments unchanged will have negative consequences for the commission’s success and exacerbate religious divisions in the region and Nigeria as a whole. We call on Mr President to prioritize unity and inclusivity in his decision-making. We request that he takes immediate action to address these concerns and promote inclusivity in the NWDC.”
