Amb. Enwere noted that the Federal government’s projects in South East will not only reconnect the region to national grid but create jobs, and mark the most significant federal infrastructure commitments to the zone in Nigeria’s history, hence called for total commitment to the course.

“This signals a dramatic policy and economic shift aimed at bridging decades of regional neglect and infrastructure inequality.

“However, this marks the first time any administration has budgeted over $3 billion solely for a South East transport project, drawing praises even from political critics.

“It is significant to note that, this project will slash transport costs, open new export channels, and revive dormant and industrial zones in South East Nigeria as well as realigning South-East with the center by responding to calls for inclusion.

“Since the end of the Civil War in 1970, the South East has not experienced the extent of investment and attention it is currently getting from the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu”

“From information available, South East students were among the first to access the Federal Government Student loan Initiative launched in 2024.

“Hopefully, the South East Development Commission, if properly managed. will go a long way in addressing the infrastructural imbalance prevalent in the South EAST States. Like Oliver Twist, We need more integration into the Nigerian system. We can only achieve this supporting a man who understands that “What is good for the Goose is also good for the Gander.
