SEDC must operate from South-East, Kalu insists

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the South-East Development Commission (SEDC), has called for the commission's relocation to the South-East region it was established to serve. During an oversight visit to projects executed by the SEDC in Enugu State, Kalu stressed that the commission must base itself in the region it was meant to serve, highlighting that operating from Abuja is not sufficient.

He expressed satisfaction with the progress made on the commission's headquarters in Enugu, commending the management for improvements. Kalu inspected two facilities during the visit: the commission's current office and another building under construction, provided by the Enugu State Government. He urged the management to continue the progress and sustain it before a scheduled oversight visit in December.

The SEDC was established to promote development and address infrastructure and developmental challenges across the South-East region.
