The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has hailed the efforts of President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Works, David Umahi, for their pivotal task of revitalising the economy of the south east zone.

Ohanaeze said the ongoing construction works, specifically the proposed expansion of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway (Aba segment) and the impending completion of the Aba-Ikot Ekpene, represent a beacon of hope for the reconnection of Aba to its neighbouring territories.

A statement issued on Tuesday by the factional secretary-general of Ohanaeze, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the initiatives have undoubtedly paved the way for the socio-economic renaissance of the ancient commercial city.

The statement reads in part: “It is no secret that the city of Aba has languished in economic stagnation for over two decades due to dilapidated road networks, which have hindered the influx of West African customers, local investors, and foreign traders to this cherished city of Ndigbo.

“The unfortunate neglect of crucial federal highways leading to Aba by former istrations from 1999 to 2023 further exacerbated the isolation and economic woes faced by the Southeastern region.

“Therefore, the unwavering of Ndigbo for President Tinubu and Senator David Umahi stems from their resolute commitment to addressing the long-standing infrastructural deficiencies that have hindered the prosperity of the region.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo, emphasizes that the ongoing road construction projects spearheaded by President Tinubu exhibit a profound sense of duty to revitalizing Aba, an economic hub with deep historical significance to the Igbo community.

“The swift and sustainable realization of improved federal highways within Aba has lifted the shadows of economic despair that loomed over the city, paving the way for lasting prosperity and growth. Aba’s historical stature as a regional trading haven for West African nations has been stifled by the lack of basic infrastructure, thereby impeding economic fortunes and deterring potential customers from harnessing the vast opportunities within the vibrant city of Enyimba.

“Given the accelerated pace of infrastructure development witnessed in the region over the past two decades, Ndigbo stands united in ing President Tinubu and Minister David Umahi in their laudable efforts to rejuvenate Aba and bolster economic activities within the Southeast.

"The anticipated transformation of Aba’s economic landscape not only signifies a renewal for its inhabitants but also heralds a dawn of prosperity for the region at large.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo urges all stakeholders to recognize and applaud the transformative impact of the ongoing road rehabilitation projects embarked upon by President Tinubu and Minister David Umahi. Let us collectively acknowledge and champion the promising future that awaits Aba as it returns to its former glory as a thriving economic nerve centre within the African continent.

"Ohanaeze implores all Ndigbo to forgo any stance on nationwide protests against President Tinubu, as his istration’s steadfast commitment to uplifting Aba and the Southeast region warrants our unwavering and commendation. Let us stand together in celebrating the bright prospects that lie ahead for Aba and the Igbo people.”

As a staunch Ebonyian and Dave Umahi number 0 (0 comes before 1) fan, I wholly the infrastructural reconstruction of SE roads by Tinubu and Dave Umahi, alongside Tinubu's age of South East Development Commission Bill into law.

Also, the supplementary bill ed into law captures the funding for port Harcourt to maiduguri railway.

This railway connects my beloved beautiful and homely Abakaliki(Ebonyi state), to Port Harcourt, Owerri, Enugu, Anambra and Aba, terminating to North East.



God bless Tinubu who will preside over Nigeria beyond 2027.

God bless Umahi and Ebonyi.

May thunder strike whoever insults Ebonyi or Abakaliki people, Amen!

The sycophantic statement has nothing to do with APC; it came from Ohaneze. I was so interested in seeing what they did. He only mentioned two road projects.

Really

Wow

I am also from Ebonyi, but I tell you, this your behaviour is exactly why they insult Ebonyi people. This is about projects that haven't been executed yet, including the SEDC bill and railway. All these things are still on paper but you're here shamelessly saying you're Umahi's number -1000 fan, an honor I'm sure you haven't given God or your parents. How many times will you be deceived before you say "enough is enough?" Eziokwu, nzuzu dị ọtụtụ ndị Ebonyi n'ọbara.
