Kalu Advocates for South East Development Commission's Local Operations

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, who represents Abia North Senatorial District and serves as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the South East Development Commission (SEDC), stated that the commission must operate from the South-east rather than Abuja. During an oversight visit on Monday to inspect the commission’s headquarters in Enugu State, Kalu noted that the commission's presence in Enugu has resolved previous disagreements regarding its operational base.

He expressed satisfaction with the progress made since the last engagement with the commission's management and urged them to extend their activities to communities across the South-east. Kalu announced that the committee would return to Enugu in December to assess further progress.

He highlighted the improvements in the headquarters project and reiterated that the commission's operational base must remain in the South-east, emphasizing that the earlier dispute over its location had been resolved.
