‎The Information boss said, the Development Plan is patterned to rest on six key pillars, including: people and resources, growth and stability, sustainable economy, social infrastructure and inclusion, governance and reform, and cross-sector linkages.
‎
‎The Commissioner stated that after implementation, the plan would help to build a dynamic and inclusive economy by unlocking local potential and attracting global investment across key sectors in the state.

‎
‎On his part, the Commissioner for Budget and Planing, Mr. Kingsley Anosike observed that before the inception of Governor Otti’s administration, there was a 30-year development plan.
‎
‎Anosike, who described the development plan as future-proof, explained that the development plan is different because it is going to be backed by legislations.
