A bill for an Act to establish the South East Development Commission to serve as catalyst for the development of commercial potentials of the South-East has passed second reading at the House of Representatives.
The commission would also address any other environmental or developmental challenge and for related matters in the geo-political zone. Mr Jibrin said the Yakubu Gowon administration has already began implementation before it was interrupted and the project abandoned.According to him, this is the time to show courage and make the South East feel like a part of Nigeria.
Mr Namdas, whose constituency is a beneficiary of the North East Development Commission, said it would be unfair for him not to support the bill.
Good
Kudos to NASS. This is long overdue. Our Yoruba brothers may not like it though.
This one will gather all Aso rock dust on Buhari's table till he leaves, if it escapes Senate.
