Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah calls on the South East Development Commission (SEDC) to prioritise regional infrastructure projects, including a gas pipeline and a railway network, and to support efforts aimed at accelerating industrialisation in the South East. He also links the proposals to improved connectivity and stronger economic activity across the region’s five states.
Mbah makes the remarks during a meeting with the Senate Committee on the South East Development Commission, led by Chairman Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, according to multiple outlets. The reports agree that the governor frames the initiatives as part of a broader industrial programme for the area. While the coverage emphasises different wording—such as support for an industrial “revolution” or industrial “programme”—all describe the same core message: SEDC should focus resources on cross-regional transport and energy infrastructure.
