The member representing the South East on the Board of North East Development Commission, NEDC, Hon Sam Onuigbo, has said that southerners are benefitting from the Commission.

Onuigbo, who addressed journalists on Sunday, noted that apart from the people of the North East, Igbos living and doing business in parts of the North East are also reaping the gains of the establishment of the NEDC.

According to him, the NEDC was set up by the Federal Government to rehabilitate, resettle and reconstruct communities that were destroyed by insurgency, and address challenges such as the Lake Chad problem, care for Internally Displaced Persons, reduce illiteracy and promote the transformation of the region.

Onuigbo pointed out that many buildings and business outlets in the North East, including those owned by Igbos, were destroyed during the peak days of insurgency in the region.

He expressed joy that insecurity has been drastically reduced in the North East through initiatives introduced by the Federal Government, with support from international organisations.

According to him, the people of the South East, just like indigenes of their host communities, are now enjoying a better-secured environment in parts of North East.

“Our people who are living and doing business in the North East, their houses and businesses were destroyed alongside those of the indigenes. Every destruction in the North East affect the South East.

“We will contribute to the development of the North East. We have our people working and living in the North East,” he said.

Unbridled prejudice and bigotry.

All supported and encouraged by Peter Obi.

This one go contest for Governor in his state in the future and they will still vote him in.

Igbos are an important contributors to Nigeria socioeconomic development.
This is the role we have played in all regions in Nigeria. It is now time for us to do more for the SE and SS region.

UHLmoving:
Must you talk?

why must he talk.. Igbos must remain seen as marginalised

booblacain:
This one go contest for Governor in his state in the future and they will still vote him in.

The ones already yabbing him here and offline?

It is like saying Igbos will massively vote for Orji Uzor Kalu or Okorocha, if they come out to contest for the Presidency.

This one na complete efulefu, onye apali and mkpulumiri drunken master.

Condom for stop this trash, I blamed his father and Tinubu

Hmm.

Can he truly tell us how many people who lost their houses got them replaced.

In a country where tribalism has taken serious root, can he tell us what the entire south benefits, especially from the north, who try to corner as much resources as possible from other parts of the country.

So na only IGBOS you know that is benefits NEDC . oluku.
You get your mouth.

Usless criminal. Is it only the Igbos that are in NE.
See the speed they government used to establish NEDC. Look at the SE, the debate for SEDC is still under debate in Senate over 53 years after the war.

How are the Igbos benefiting,is it only Igbos in north east.Must our politicians use Igbos to score cheep political point.

Idiot of the worst order. Complete m0r0n, product of burst condom.
