SEDC to Launch Agro-Mechanised Projects in Enugu
The South East Development Commission (SEDC) is set to initiate agro-mechanised projects across the 15 senatorial districts in the South East zone, with the first flag-off scheduled for Nomeh Unateze Community in Nkanu East Council area of Enugu State on September 22, 2026. Dr. Mark Okoye, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of SEDC, announced that the projects aim to address issues of insecurity, unemployment, and food security.
The initiative, known as the South East Agro Mechanisation Programme, will develop up to 50,000 hectares of land for mechanised farming, starting with pilot programmes on 200 to 300 hectares across the 15 senatorial zones. Okoye commended President Bola Tinubu for supporting the establishment of the commission and urged the community to support ongoing development efforts.
Uche Anichukwu, media aide to the Governor of Enugu State, described the project as a significant benefit of the current administration.
