Fed govt to inaugurate new national addressing council for economic growth

By Fly Cable News

The federal government has announced plans to inaugurate a new National Addressing Council (NAC) and a technical committee next year.

This is aimed at driving Nigeria’s agenda on planning, economic growth, and financial inclusion through an effective national addressing system.

The national addressing system is a framework designed to establish a reliable and consistent method of assigning a geographic and numeric address to all buildings within an area.

The decision was taken on Wednesday during a pre-meeting of the council chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima at the Presidential Villa.

According to a statement issued on Thursday by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, this is part of the critical steps to reinvigorate the NAC in a bid to address challenges associated with the addressing system in Nigeria.
