Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu says the South East Development Commission, SEDC, will solve the ecological challenges in the region.
Kalu gave the assurance at Uzoakoli in Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State during his ongoing tour of the 13 electoral wards in the constituency he represents at the National Assembly.
He told his constituents that the fertilizers were a kind gesture from the Federal Government to support agricultural activities in rural communities while the bags of rice were procured to appreciate the people for their support to him in the last election.
According to a statement in Abuja, by his Chief Press Secretary, Levinus Nwabughiogu, the Deputy Speaker told his consistents that President Tinubu is interested in the development of the south eastern region hence his resolve to assent to the South East Development Commission (SEDC) bill sponsored by him.
“President Bola Tinubu in a show of love for the Igbo signed the South East Development Commission Bill (SEDC) into law. It will be used to rebuild our beloved Southeast. I thank Mr President for this kind act”.
“I promise you if there’s anywhere that the federal government needs to repair erosion damages, it’s starting from Uzuakoli ward. Whatever our dear President approves, your community will be there among those communities for repairs and reconstruction.”
Earlier, the deputy speaker visited Umuimenyi/Nkpa ward, where he equally distributed bags of fertilisers and rice with cash donations and also appreciated the people for their support.
