Tinubu Signs South East Development Commission Bill into Law
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stated that his decision to sign the South East Development Commission (SEDC) Bill into law was motivated by the belief that the prosperity of the South East is crucial to Nigeria's prosperity. This announcement was made at the South East Gas Pipeline Infrastructure Investment Ceremony in Enugu.
The President had assented to the bill in July 2024. Represented by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu (Rep, Bende), Tinubu explained that the SEDC aims to provide sustained attention to the region's reconstruction and long-term development.
He emphasized that the Commission should be an institution of delivery, measuring success through investments, infrastructure, and improved lives. Tinubu commended Dr. Emeka Wogu, the Chairman of the Commission, and Mr. Mark Okoye, the Managing Director and CEO, for their efforts.
He also announced the approval of the South East Investment Company to leverage public resources for private investment, reaffirming his administration's commitment to critical infrastructure in the region.
