Senator Uche Ekwunife has reiterated that South East governors are working tirelessly to revitalize the region’s development and tackle insecurity, which has jeopardized the region’s peace and prosperity.
In a statement made in Abuja, Ekwunife, the Director General of the South-East Governors Forum (SEGOF), revealed more insights into the SEGOF’s efforts to address insecurity, unemployment, lawlessness, the fall of viable business structures, health and educational inadequacies.
She thanked the governors’ collaborative efforts, led by Senator Hope Uzodima, Governor of Imo State and Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Governors Forum.
To accelerate economic growth, she described the governors’ efforts to make the region a viable place for investors to do business.
Ekwunife recognized security as a crucial aspect that will increase investors’ trust and desire to invest in the zone and went on to discuss the governor’s security plans to recover the Southeast’s status as Nigeria’s economic growth and development hub.
Senator Ekwunife said:
“The South-East governors have embarked on a comprehensive revitalization plan to boost ease of doing business in the region.
“At the heart of the plan are 6 critical sectors identified by the Southeast governors: Security, industrialization, uniform legislation, power, education, and rail transportation.
“Knowing fully well that no reasonable investor will desire to come and invest in an environment where security is not guaranteed and also understanding that this is a common problem bedevilling the entire region, the governors have created a platform to synergise and have developed a security strategy to make it very difficult for criminals to commit the crime in one state and run to the other state for cover.”
