Are major projects being deliberately steered away from the North, or is this just a case of politicking?

In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we're digging deep into the data, separating fact from fiction, and asking the tough questions: Is the North truly being marginalized, or is this just a battle of words? Tune in as we explore the complexities of Nigeria's regional dynamics and uncover the truth behind the headlines."
