Senator Ubah Hails President Tinubu for Signing S'East Development Commission Bill Into Law

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, representing Anambra South Senatorial District, has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for signing the Southeast Development Commission Bill into law.

In a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Media and Strategic Communications, Kamen Chuks Ogbonna, Senator Ubah praised President Tinubu's commitment to addressing the region's development challenges and fostering unity.

The Senator noted that the bill's passage marks the culmination of the Southeast's tireless efforts to establish a development commission that will address the region's critical needs.

He highlighted that the bill's signing reverses the disappointment caused by former President Mohammed Buhari's denial of assent, which had reinforced feelings of injustice and hindered APC's progress in the region.

Senator Ubah commended President Tinubu for paving the way for meaningful collaboration between the Southeast and the federal government, ensuring the region's growth and prosperity.

The Southeast Development Commission Bill aims to:
- Establish a commission responsible for managing funds allocated from the Federation Account
- Reconstruction and rehabilitation of roads, houses, and other infrastructural damage suffered by the region due to the civil war
- Tackle ecological problems and related environmental or developmental challenges in Abia, Imo, Enugu, Anambra, and Ebonyi states

Senator Ubah's appreciation reflects the collective gratitude of the Southeast people, who eagerly anticipate the positive impact of this development commission.
