SENATOR UBAH COMMENDS THE SENATE FOR PASSAGE OF SOUTH EAST DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION BILL

The Senator representating Anambra South Senatorial District at the Senate has commended the Nigerian Senate for the passage of the South East Development Commission Bill.

The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday March 5th, 2024, passed the South East Development Commission Bill awaiting the signature of the President for the bill to become a law.

Senator Ubah in showing his appreciation yesterday, at the floor of the Nigerian Senate, relied on Order 42 of the Senate Standing Rules to thank and as well commend the leadership of the upper chamber for passing the South East Development Commission Bill, a bill he introduced to the present 10th Senate after it passed First Reading on Wednesday, October 4, 2023 as SB.129.

Continuing, he further commended the Senate for working tirelessly to ensure that the Bill process was not discontinued after its First Reading and for diligently working to ensure its passage.

"In my further appreciation to the Senate on behalf of the South East Senators and Honourable Members, I highlighted the importance of the South East Development Commission Bill in addressing the developmental challenges faced by the South East region of Nigeria, and emphasized the need for targeted interventions to promote economic growth, infrastructure development, and social welfare in the region."

Speaking further on the importance of the Bill, he reiterated that it would not only put the perceived marginalization of the South East to an end but would also when signed into law, enable the south east zone to benefit directly from federal government intervention programmes which are already being enjoyed by other zones like the South South and North East through the Niger Delta Development Commission and North East Development Commission respectively."

He further stressed that the present federal government is committed to the development of various regions of the country and that he is confident that the Senate would prioritize the implementation of the Bill when signed into law and would also ensure that the Commission is effectively established and empowered to fulfil its mandate.

"Ndị nkem, my commitment to working towards the development and prosperity of our Senatorial District, South East region and the country as a whole is sacrosanct, and I would always put in my best to ensure that your interests are always protected." He concluded
