Ubah Praises Tinubu for Signing Southeast Development Commission Bill

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah of Anambra South has praised President Bola Tinubu for signing the Southeast Development Commission Bill into law.

In a press statement, Ubah commended Tinubu for his commitment to addressing the region’s developmental challenges. The statement, signed by Ubah’s Special Adviser on Media and Strategic Communications, Mr. Kamen Chuks Ogbonna, highlighted the bill’s potential to foster rapid development and unity in the Southeast.

Ubah stated, “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 bill’s signing into law reverses the disappointment caused by former President Mohammad 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 enabling meaningful collaboration between the Southeast and the federal government, ensuring the region’s growth and prosperity.

The 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. Additionally, the commission will address ecological problems and related environmental or developmental challenges in Abia, Imo, Enugu, Anambra, and Ebonyi States.
