In a significant move towards enhancing regional development, Hon. Ifeanyi Elvis Ogbonna, a prominent figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC) representing the Ohafia/Arochukwu Federal Constituency, has expressed his enthusiastic support for Senator Orji Uzor Kalu’s recent appointment as the chairman of the Senate Committee on the newly formed South-East Development Commission. This affirmation comes as part of the Senate’s strategic reshuffling, announced under the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, which aims to propel development efforts across Nigeria.

Senator Kalu, renowned for his tenure as a two-term governor and his extensive experience as a lawmaker, is viewed by many, including Ogbonna, as an ideal choice to lead this pivotal committee. The reshuffling, which recently took place, included not just Kalu’s appointment as chair but also Senator Ken Eze of Ebonyi Central as the deputy chairman. This new leadership structure is expected to focus on addressing the unique developmental challenges facing the South-East region, fostering growth, and ultimately enhancing the overall economic landscape.

In a statement released from his media office, Ogbonna praised the collective decision-making process of the Senate in supporting Kalu’s candidacy. He articulated his belief that Kalu’s vast knowledge and proven track record will be instrumental in overseeing the commission’s operations effectively, ensuring that it meets its objectives. “Senator Kalu’s leadership is pivotal,” Ogbonna remarked, emphasizing that his commitment to public service and community development will undoubtedly nurture the re-emergence of the South-East as a thriving region within Nigeria.

Ogbonna encouraged stakeholders and the public to rally together behind Senator Kalu and his team, reinforcing the idea that collaborative efforts are essential for the success of the South-East Development Commission (SEDC). The call for unity highlights the opportunity for a collective approach to tackling critical developmental issues such as infrastructure, education, and economic empowerment.

Kalu’s recent appointment comes on the heels of the Senate confirming the board members of the commission, crafted after a meticulous screening process led by Senator Kalu himself. The executive management now includes esteemed members such as Dr. Emeka Worgu as Chairman and Hon. Mark C. Okoye as Managing Director/CEO, among others. Their diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise promise a dynamic approach to tackling the region’s challenges.

As Nigeria continues to evolve, the potential for growth and prosperity remains strong, especially with committed individuals like Senator Kalu at the helm of such essential initiatives. With the right support and collaboration, the South-East region is poised to harness its full potential, driving development that benefits all its citizens.
