Anambra South Senatorial District – Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, CON, has expressed his heartfelt appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for signing the Southeast Development Commission Bill into law.
In a statement, Senator Ubah praised the President’s commitment to addressing the region’s development challenges and fostering unity. He noted that the passage of this bill marks the culmination of the Southeast’s tireless efforts to establish a development commission that will address the region’s critical needs.
The Senator highlighted that the bill’s signing reverses the disappointment caused by former President Mohammed Buhari’s denial of assent, which had reinforced feelings of injustice and hindered APC’s progress in the region. He also commended President Tinubu for paving the way for meaningful collaboration between the Southeast and the federal government, ensuring the region’s growth and prosperity.
The Southeast Development Commission Bill aims to establish a commission responsible for managing funds allocated from the Federation Account for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of roads, houses, and other infrastructural damage suffered by the region due to the civil war. The commission will also tackle ecological problems and related environmental or developmental challenges in Abia, Imo, Enugu, Anambra, and Ebonyi states.
Senator Ubah’s appreciation reflects the collective gratitude of the Southeast people, who eagerly anticipate the positive impact of this development commission.
