Ex-lawmaker, Sam Onuigbo, says that the establishment of the South East Development Commission, SEDC, was a demonstration of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to inclusive development of post-civil war South East.
Onuigbo who was a member of the House of Representatives, was reacting to Tinubu ’s signing of the South East Development Commission Bill into law. In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, Onuigbo hailed the Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives, Rep. Benjamin Kalu, for ensuring that the bill was passed. He said that the commission would be charged with overseeing the holistic growth and development of the region.
He further said that the move represented a genuine commitment towards addressing not only the insecurity in the region but also the infrastructure decay that had plagued the region. He commended Kalu for his exemplary leadership and unparalleled commitment towards the development of the South East. This, he said, first manifested in the inauguration and implementation of the Peace in the South East Project, PISE-P.
