A new model of regional development surrounds the eradication of a colonial compound mentality and replace it with a mindset of promoting businesses, driving economic development and giving leadership. It hinges on the realization that the regional system is not an appendage of central government but rather a driver of local economic empowerment

The Government is committed to the role of local government in national development. Every feasible and sustainable effort will be made to continue to provide the needed institutional and technical support to transition the local government system to the state where it can effectively serve the people; fulfil the intended functions and become the envisioned catalyst to national development.
