The passage of the South East Development Commission Bill has brought hope to the Igbo people, as Senator Ifeanyi Ubah believes it will address the longstanding issue of marginalization in the region. In a press release from Awka, Anambra State, Ubah expressed his gratitude to the Senate for their dedication in passing the bill, which he initially introduced to the 10th Senate.
The Senator emphasized the importance of targeted interventions to stimulate economic growth, improve infrastructure, and enhance social welfare in the South East. He highlighted that the Commission’s establishment would not only end the perceived marginalization but also allow the region to access Federal Government intervention programs, similar to those benefiting other zones in Nigeria.
Ubah’s confidence in the Senate’s commitment to implementing the bill underscores the potential impact of the Commission in driving development in the South East. With the bill’s passage, he envisions a future where the region can fully benefit from government initiatives, paving the way for a more prosperous and inclusive Nigeria.
As the South East awaits the finalization of the bill into law, Senator Ubah’s advocacy for the region’s advancement serves as a beacon of hope for the Igbo community and a testament to the power of legislative action in addressing historical disparities.
