The Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, has expressed appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for signing the Southeast Development Commission Bill into law.
In a statement in Awka, Ubah praised the President's commitment to addressing the region's development challenges and fostering unity.
According to the senator, the passage of this bill marked the culmination of the Southeast's tireless efforts to establish a development commission that would address the region's critical needs.
He added that the signing of the bill has reversed the disappointment caused by former President Mohammed Buhari's denial of assent, which had reinforced feelings of injustice and hindered APC's progress in the region.
Senator Ubah also commended President Tinubu for paving the way for meaningful collaboration between the Southeast and the federal government, which, he observed, would ensure the region's growth and prosperity.
He said: "The Southeast Development Commission Bill aims to establish a commission responsible for managing funds allocated from the Federation Account for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of roads, houses, and other infrastructural damage suffered by the region due to the last civil war.
"The commission will also tackle ecological problems and related environmental or developmental challenges in Abia, Imo, Enugu, Anambra, and Ebonyi states.
"The Southeast eagerly anticipates the positive impact of this development commission".
