The Nation Newspaper Thoughts on The SouthEast Development Commission Bill

Before I delve into the second and final series of this article, let me comment on some of the responses i received from my readers. One accused me of being anti-southeast because I had faulted one of the mandates which was for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of roads, houses and other infrastructural damages suffered by the region as a result of the effects of the civil war.

What is wrong with such an assertion, particularly when it is backed with facts and figures? For example has the NDDC justified it’s receipt of over 15.

There is also the challenge of funding, no doubting with the perceived marginalisation of the region since the end of the civil war, the SouthEast Region is bogged down with infrastructural, ecological and environmental challenges and should require huge funding from the Federal Government. How will this funding come? What percentage of funds would come from.
