A group known as the Northern Christian Youth Professionals has raised concerns over the exclusion of Christians from the recent appointments to the Board of Directors of the North West Development Commission by President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the group’s Chairman, Isaac Abrak, voiced disappointment that none of the appointees from the six states of the region were Christians.
“We are deeply concerned that these appointments do not reflect the region’s diversity,” Abrak stated. “For inclusivity and fair representation, it is imperative that Christians are appointed to the commission. The current situation is unacceptable and perpetuates marginalization.”
Abrak warned that failing to address this issue could harm the commission’s effectiveness and deepen religious divisions in the region and the country. He called on President Tinubu to reassess the appointments, urging immediate action to ensure balanced representation that promotes unity and inclusivity in the North West Development Commission.
