Gombe State Development Plan 2020

Gombe state has evolved over the years on all counts. The State is blessed with a relatively young population, presenting a great prospect for development. Admittedly, some successes have been made on social development, while infrastructure is continually being improved on through substantial public sector investment. Nevertheless, since the creation of the State, there has not been any attempt to articulate a long-term economic development plan for the State. Earlier attempts at development Planning were ad-hoc, short termed and political regime-tied. For development to be sustainable and political regime invariant, there is need to develop an all-inclusive, long term Economic Development Plan for the State, owned and executed for the general interest of the current and succeeding generations of the people of Gombe.Gombe State Development Plan »
