SEDC

Elder statesman Charles Ogbonnaya has expressed disappointment with governors and other political leaders for not showing enough support for the take-off of the South East Development Commission, SEDC, which, according to him, is a catalyst for the rebuilding of the South East.

Ogbonna, a former two-time commissioner and former Deputy Chief of Staff to the Abia State Governor, said that the SEDC Bill, sponsored by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu and passed by the Green Chamber, is the first concrete effort to address the degradation in the southeast following the civil war.

He pointed out that the philosophy of SEDC is in tandem with the development agenda of the late Dr Michael Okpara, as encapsulated in the document establishing the Eastern Nigeria Development Corporation, ENDC. He noted that cocoa farms, rubber and palm plantations, Metropolitan Hotel , Presidential Hotel , as well as Golden Guinea Breweries, among other industries, were established under ENDC by Dr Okpara.
