Event Brief
The fact that the Northern Region is Nigeria’s Economic Powerhouse is not, in doubt. However, efforts to give the regional economy a new direction have been slowed down due to numerous complexities and obstacles. Yet, it is generally acknowledged that the region’s growing political and economic institutions are leveling up opportunities and this has been constituted into the region’s flagship policy of its forward agenda.
Today, the growing security concerns and the need to do more to develop the North into an economic powerhouse considering the enormous resources and opportunities for investments and infrastructure projects development has necessitated the need to push the potential of Northern Economic Powerhouse back into the discussed arena. It is expedient at this time for economic cooperation and integration of the Region to fast-track the much-desired development and transformation.
