A Bill to establish the South West Development Commission (SWDC) on Thursday scaled first reading in the Senate.

The Bill titled: “South West Development Commission (Est, etc) Bill, 2019” was sponsored by a former Governor of Ogun State and Senator representing Ogun Central, Ibikunle Amosun.

It could be recalled that upon the establishment of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and North East Development Commission (NEDC), other geopolitical zones in the country have been clamouring that a similar intervention agency be created to take care of their needs.

The South East Development Commission (SEDC) was on Wednesday (yesterday) reintroduced in the Senate by Senator Stella Oduah representing Anambra North.

We are steadily moving back to regional government without knowing it.

I believe an agreement should be reached where the S/S region keeps 50% of their oil revenue for 10years and add 10% every five years until to its 100%.

The remaining Five geo political zones should share the 50% until it's 0%
