Kalu Demands South East Development Commission Stay Local

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North Senatorial District and Chairman of the Senate Committee on the South East Development Commission, stated that the commission must operate from the South-East rather than Abuja. This declaration was made during an oversight visit to the commission's headquarters in Enugu State on a Monday.

Kalu expressed satisfaction with the progress made on the headquarters, noting improvements since previous engagements with the management. He urged the management to maintain this momentum and announced plans for a follow-up visit in December to assess further progress.

Kalu inspected two facilities: the current office and another building provided by the Enugu State Government, which is nearing completion. He emphasized that the commission's relocation to the South-East has resolved earlier concerns regarding its operations being based in Abuja.

Kalu reiterated the importance of the commission's activities being felt at the grassroots level across the South-East.
