Recycling Bin

Thieves.

They have appointment one of their own.....a known corrupt and criminal man.

Banie:
Then the man should resign. He can't be in senate same time SEDC Chairman.

Since the position is just like the NDDC chairman office

it's senate committee. And not chairman of the committee outside the Senate

The same man who ruled and finished Abia.Well may God deliver SE.

Christistruth02:

Are you surprised, convicts are kingmakers in Naija.

Useless country!

Last Last school no be scam. You left out the important part of the news: Senate Committee Chairman, SEDC

Morbeta11:
Corruption don already hold the new commission like this...

You are right. It will fail like NDDC

Chop make I chop Nigeria which way... Sedc,Ssdc,nedc and co

SeeWahala:
Why?

He can hold his office while sharing VAT and IGR monies we get in the South East. Remember we are marginalized already and expect no federal presence here. He can squander it with his APC cronies and nobody will be the wiser

Kalu doesn't care. Remember he is already an ex convict what more can you do to him?

Can't independent individuals fill these positions, must it be politicians?

Misleading headline

Misleading title.. chairman of senate committee not of the commission itself

Oga read it again. He was only appointed as Senate Committee Chairman of South East Development Commission.

Benwallt:

A non-politician, that is, someone who is not a member of the Senate should be the chairman of a senate committee??

That commission will be useless like all Orji Kalu projects. He is never known for quality projects throughout his tenure as Governor and even as a senator. I weep for my people

Did they consult south easterners before doing this? Didn't they see Enyinnaya Abaribe?
Someone that was previously "convicted" of embezzlement of public funds?
Nawa Ooo

Creating job for the boys

Same old polithiefcians.. Africa is stranded joor, Nothing anybody wan tell me.

Is southeast development commission a senate committee or federal government establishment?


It wasn't said that he was appointed the chairman of senate committee on southeast development commission.

But appointed as the chairman of southeast development commission which anybody can occupy.

Now I got your point. The headline says another thing

Rich getting richer

Vanguard is now a tissue paper. How can Akpabio appoint a Chairman of SEDC? What power does he have? Can a serving Senator head an executive parastatal?

Orji Kalu, as a Senator, can only be appointed as Chairman of Senate Committee on SEDC and not the Chairman of the Commission.

Bia, you re marginalised by who? Are you alright?

Pls drop the list where SE wee marginalised in scheme of things in Nigeria?

Pls is it because that fraudulent nwanem obi failed to win 2024 now mean SE is marginalised or what?

Tell me I want to know the area of the marginalisation Mr victim crier?

Reward for corruption

Ha! Has this man repented? Why give him people's money again to squander

nevilbot:
You actually didn't understand what you read. You read the headline and just reached a wrong conclusion without reading the body of the article.

Orji kalu wasn't appointed as the SEDC chairman, he was appointed as head of the senate committee to oversee the SEDC. the senate has many oversight committees to oversee govt ministries and commissions as part of carrying out their senate duties to monitor budget compliance and kalu was only made a chairman of the senate committee that will oversee the SEDC. the SEDC Still has its own chairman who is not a senate member and whose job is to handle the day to day running of the SEDC.

Many of them dont read.
Thank you for correcting him.

Development Commission wey go serve as new outlet for corruption per region. Such things barely concern the well-being of the populace. Just another lame attempt at showing workings.

MST of the comments here reek of blatant ignorance.

Djoel:
A man that embezzled the funds of Abi State, ran it into bankruptcy and turned it into his Oligarchy empire by installing two subsequent governor's like him to finish what was left till the glory of the Enyi Mba State was gone.

He is appointed to develop the South East.

He has seriously changed and has done a lot for Abia as a senator

Af0nja2:

Orji Kalu, as a Senator, can only be appointed as Chairman of Senate Committee on SEDC and not the Chairman of the Commission.

Calm down
Go and read the content again.

Kalu is heading the commitee in the senate only.
