President Bola Tinubu has signed the south-east and north-west development commission bills into law.
The south-east bill was sponsored by Benjamin Kalu, the deputy speaker who represents Bende federal constituency of Abia state.
The bill was passed by the senate and house of representatives and transmitted to the president in June for assent.
The commission will receive funds to execute projects in the geopolitical zone.
The funds are also earmarked for environment challenges like erosion, reconstruction and rehabilitation of roads in Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, and Anambra.
In a statement issued by Levinus Nwabughiogu, his chief press secretary, Kalu expressed appreciation to the president for signing the bill into law.
The deputy speaker said the commission will “rehabilitate Igbo land” and foster unity among the people.
Tinubu also signed the north-west development commission bill into law.
Jibrin Barau, deputy senate president and sponsor of the bill, said the signing of the proposed legislation is a “testament” to Tinubu’s “commitment to addressing the challenges facing the north-west geopolitical zone and indeed all parts of the country”.
