The National Assembly has nominated Asiya Ganduje, daughter of Umar Ganduje, Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Kano State Governor, and Muhamad Wamakko, son of Senator Aliyu Wamakko, former Sokoto State Governor, to serve as directors in the newly formed North-West Development Commission (NWDC).

Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas and Barau Jibrin, Deputy Senate President, co-signed the letter containing the decision.

According to the letter, which was addressed to President Bola Tinubu, 11 people will head departments in the NWDC, with Wamakko assigned to the Planning, Research, Statistics and Management Information System.

Ganduje was assigned to the Community and Rural Development department.
