Imo State Indigenes, under the aegis of Global Initiative for Efficient Public Service, have commended President Bola Tinubu for the speedy approval of the South East Investment Company (SEIC).
The president recently gave approval for the creation of the company, which proposal was made by the management and board of the South East Development Commission (SEDC), led by Mr Mark Okoye.
The SEDC had conceived the SEIC as the platform that would drive its investment vision of economic reconstruction for the purpose of the realisation of the South East region.
Following the conceptualisation of the vision, the Okoye-led team had sent the proposal to the president, who, a few days ago, formally approved the framework.
Reacting to the news, the group extended its gratitude to the president for approving the groundbreaking initiative.
The Coordinator of the group, Mazi Anayo Didi Oguguo, while speaking with newsmen, said the prompt intervention of the president, once again, demonstrated his concern and unwavering commitment towards the rebuilding of the region, after over 50 years of federal neglect.
He noted that the South East Investment Company would be the game changer in the quest of SEDC to fulfil the task ahead of it, as it would serve as the platform for the attraction of the critical funds needed to develop the region.
Mazi Oguguo also lauded the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, for his consistent dedication and commitment to the realisation of the vision of rebuilding the South East region, using the instrument of SEDC.
He also extended his commendation to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of SEDC, Mr Okoye, and his team for their visionary and pragmatic leadership, which he noted has resulted in the various milestones the SEDC has recorded within a few months of its existence, stressing that with the obvious passion, hard work and sacrifices being made by the team, the desired transformation of the region would be achieved in no distant time.
