  • The Edo State Government has debunked claims by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) alleging that Governor Monday Okpebholo approved N6 billion as compensation to so-called “Fulani terrorists” following the recent Uromi killings. In a strongly-worded statement on Thursday, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Fred Itua, described the accusation as a reckless falsehood designed to incite ethnic conflict and destabilise the peace of Edo State. The controversy stems from the events of 28 March, when sixteen hunters from Kano State were killed in the Udune Efandion community of Uromi. In the aftermath, Governor Okpebholo visited Kano to sympathise with the families of the victims and appeal for calm, while a delegation from Kano later travelled to Edo to engage in peace discussions. IPOB, in a statement released on 21 April, alleged that the Governor had secretly approved a N6 billion compensation package to appease the bereaved families a claim which the Edo State Government swiftly dismissed as baseless and inflammatory. “There is no truth whatsoever in the claim that Governor Monday Okpebholo approved or paid N6 billion to any group,” Itua said. “This is a fictitious and malicious lie concocted by IPOB to sow seeds of discord and destabilise the harmony we have nurtured in Edo State.” The government warned that IPOB’s repeated attempts to manipulate public sentiment and incite ethnic hostility under the cover of activism would not succeed in Edo State. “It has become a known tactic of this proscribed group to exploit tragic situations to spread hate and misinformation,” the statement added. “Their agenda of violence and ethnic disintegration has no place here.” Emphasising its commitment to unity, security and justice for all residents, the Edo State Government reaffirmed its stance against any form of ethnic or religious discrimination. The statement also urged security agencies to investigate the source of the inciting publication and prosecute those behind it, stressing that public order and peace must not be jeopardised by dangerous propaganda. “We remain resolute in our commitment to justice, peace and the protection of all Edo people, regardless of background,” the government declared. “We will continue to uphold the values of unity, tolerance and truth in the face of reckless attempts to destabilise our state.”

Di government too point to mineral development as anoda area wey North Central fit use build stronger economy. Idris mention di recently commissioned $250 million lithium mining and processing plant for Nasarawa State as example of government effort to move Nigeria away from simply digging minerals and selling raw materials.

Di idea be say instead of exporting minerals without processing, Nigeria fit process plenti of di resources inside di kontri, create industries around dem and generate more value and jobs.

Agriculture na anoda major part of di plan. Di minister say Federal Government dey expand support for farm mechanisation, irrigation, financing, storage and processing. Di aim, according to am, na to make North Central stronger for agriculture and agro-processing.

North Central get states such as Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger and Plateau, together with di Federal Capital Territory. Di region get large areas of farmland and mineral resources, while e also connect different parts of Nigeria through important road and trade routes.

Di government position be say if better infrastructure, security, farming, mineral processing, energy and human-capital development work together, dem fit help businesses grow and create more jobs.

He point to di rescue of 308 abducted Nigerians for Niger and Kwara states for August as one example of security agencies working togeda through intelligence-led operations.

Di minister too support di idea of state police, but e stress say any system of dat kind need strong rules to make sure say professionalism, accountability and proper control dey inside am.

For di summit, di North Central Development Commission also present a 20-year development direction wey focus on agriculture, agro-processing, minerals, infrastructure, digital connection, small businesses and regional economic corridors.

Di commission say di major challenge no be only to identify di resources wey North Central get, but to turn dos resources to productive businesses, good jobs and beta living conditions for pipo across di region.

Senator George Akume, wey represent President Tinubu for di meeting, say regional development commissions suppose help close development gaps and unlock di economic potential of different parts of Nigeria.

He also call on di North Central Development Commission to concentrate on projects wey pipo fit see and benefit from, especially for infrastructure, transportation, industries, security, education, health and skills development.

As Nigeria dey move toward 2027, di Information Minister say di government focus now na to turn di gains wey e say economic reforms don bring into more production, jobs, lower costs and beta income for citizens.

But di success of di plan go depend on how well government fit complete di projects, maintain infrastructure, attract private investment and make sure say benefits reach ordinary people across di region.

Di North Central development plan therefore go need more than government announcements. E go require steady project implementation, proper monitoring, transparent use of public money and cooperation between federal, state and local authorities, businesses and communities.

Di summit participants say di long-term target go be measurable improvement for security, farming, transportation, industries, businesses and employment across North Central.
