THE South East Region Economic Development Company, SEREDEC, has announced progress in efforts of the region to develop infranstructure and social services using private sector initiative.

In it’s three years progress report at that the 4th South East Economic Summit in Enugu on Thursday, SEREDEC itemised it’s achievements to include take-off of Enyimba Industrial city, South East rail network, Eastern medical resort hospital, South East Gas pipeline, among others.

SEREDEC under the chairmanship of former minister for power, Prof Barth Nnaji; stated that progress has continued on the Enyimba Industrial city at Aba, Abia state with the federal government formally licencing the project and a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, entered into with a Chinese Conglomerate.

SEREDEC stated that it has also signed an agreement for railway project with a team of CEOs of major UK infrastructure firm in collaboration with Nigeria based experts in rail development.

The proposed rail network is expected to take off from Onne to Aba; Aba to Ontisha through Owerri; Onitsha to Abakaliki via Awka and Enugu; Aba to Nsukka via Umuahia and Enugu.
On the Gas pipeline, SEREDEC disclosed that it has engaged a team of local and foreign based experts from South East to perform a pre-feasibility study of a looped gas pipeline network that connects all the South East states.

Chairman of the Summit and former MTN chairman, Dr. Paschal Dozie, asked for more re-enforced pool of resources to make South East economically more viable.
Dozie urged political leaders in the region to cooperate and embark on common-interest projects.
“If you want to move fast, you move alone but when you want to get things done, you do it together,” Dozie said.

Former Adviser to the Minister of Power and Team Leader, DFID – Nigeria Infrastructure Advisory Facility, NIAF, Programme 3, Prof Chidi Onyia said that political leaders could look beyond election promises and move to something tangible that would better the zone.

“The issue has never been lack of ideas but for the policy makers to be honest to set up a financing process for the East.

“We should look beyond election promises. If risk exposure is not too much, people will invest. We should move from political sound bite to real implementation,” Onyia suggested.

Nice one


Wow

FTC

This is what we need ...they should cost the project ...let's all invest and get shares depending on how much we invest

We Igbo's can raise 10 trillion per year

Do it fast fast nothing for us in Nigeria

Up biafra

Lol

....Ebe nigeria juru Igbo ,umuigbo anyi aga ajunu onwe anyieee ?

Individual to construct in Igbo land but government to construct in West and North.... please where is Nnamdi Kanu ......hurry up....local girl is disappointed in Nigeria

Magicians:
Lol

Igbos self development is second to none, cynical minds should Google how Imo airport was built.

I've always prayed that one day the Igbos will realize they don't need de Federal Govt to fix our region, if not for division and selfishness, the Igbo indigenes can fix whatever problems in the region within 4yrs, we're rich, we're gifted, we're blessed by Chukwu Abiama, I pray for the day to come fast when Igbos will stand up to fix their region by themselves. and set an example to the other regions why they're called THE IGBOS !!!

The shares part is actually a good one.. people would invest whole heartedly on projects and would obviously be better monitored and can be transferred between generations.

Mba nu' Mama di mama?

Its a welcomed development, no northern or western president will develop the eastern region we will do it ourselves

Watch as federal government will rush and stop this plan. Fashola stopped Nnaji from using his Geometric Power technology from supplying Abia power and electricity. Many Igbos still don't know what's going on this country. Your federal roads in SE; where governors and even individuals have written to the ministry of works and housing...allow us to fix this road for free if you don't want to do it, we will pay for it. They say no. Same with Enugu airport, allow us to fix the airport to bring it to Lagos and Abuja level, for free with our money, they say no. Then do it, they refuse.

People like pascal dozie and prof Barth Nnaji are credible and technical people.

I expect them to lead the galvanisation and get things done.

The railway from onne port in Rivers state down to Enugu is very exciting indeed.

That should take priority along with the eastern gas line.

You should wait for it to happen, before bragging.

Massive projects to watch out for in the south east.

1) Enyimba Economic City.

2) The rail network discussed on this thread.

3) The south east gas ring network.

4) Massive Medical city planned in the south east


All these plans are in the works by SEREDEC organization. I have been following their masterplans for the past 2 years.

Follow the link below to see the plans that SEREDEC is working on. I introduced some of their plans back in June, 2019.

SMH...if you believe these people. What is wrong with someone you Igbo people? E bu ewu? People that slaughtered 3 million of you, expriopriated your wealth, will allow you to develop? Don't allow me to insult you!

That's the simple solution to the funding
More than one million Igbo's are ready to commit 1 million naira every year to this project at least

Cool

Best part...more railways.
