“There is no doubt that the South East has the highest concentration of decayed infrastructure. So, this Commission will go a long way in transforming the level of infrastructure in the zone.”
The Igbo group applauded President Tinubu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and his colleagues for the giant stride.
It reiterated its call on Igbo youths not to join the proposed nationwide protest.
