$22.7 Billion Loan: Anambra Senator demands inclusion of South East as beneficiary
Ubah said the inclusion will among other things address the infrastructure deficits in the zone.
Buhari, in 2019 had sent the loan request to the Senate but was rejected by the Upper Legislative Chamber under the leadership of Bukola Saraki. He said the Buhari-led federal government should inject part of the funds in the ongoing reconstruction of the Second Niger Bridge so as to boost the existing economic activities of the Eastern and Western regions of the country.
“The second Niger Bridge is a major gateway shared between the Eastern and Western parts of Nigeria. In view of this fact, I highlighted the economic and social importance of the second Niger bridge, as well as interlinking railway projects stressing that projects of such magnitude deserve urgent attention and funding from this loan.
