The bills are the North West Development Commission (NWDC), sponsored by Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau, and the South East Development Commission (SEDC), sponsored by Deputy Speaker Ben Kalu.<\/p>\n
The two bills were passed by both chambers in June and transmitted to the president for assent.<\/p>\n
President Tinubu signed the bills on Tuesday, according to Mr Kalu, who announced this in a post on social media.<\/p>\n
The NWDC is mandated to develop the seven North-west states of Kano, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Katsina, and Kaduna.<\/p>\n
