S’East Development Bill goes through in Senate




  Twenty-four hours after some northern groups issued an ultimatum to Igbo to vacate their region within the next three months, the South East Development Commission, SEDC, Bill scaled the crucial Second Reading in the Senate.
    One of its sponsors, Senator Samuel Anyanwu read the lead debate on the bill.
It was, however, not debated on the floor, after Anyanwu read the lead debate, following an appeal by Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who pleaded that it should be passed in the spirit of fairness and justice.
   The next phase is a public hearing where stakeholders and government officials are expected to make inputs before it will be passed into law.
