JUST IN: Igbo Group Demands More Federal Projects in South-East

A prominent Igbo socio-political group has called on the Federal Government to urgently increase the number of federal projects in the South-East region, stressing the need for equitable development across Nigeria.

In a statement made available to the press, the group expressed concerns that the region has been largely marginalized in terms of federal infrastructure, despite its significant contributions to national growth.

They noted that improved federal presence in the South-East through road networks, industrial hubs, power projects, and educational institutions would not only address long-standing grievances but also boost economic growth and national unity.

The group further urged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to demonstrate fairness by ensuring that the South-East receives its rightful share of projects under the current national development agenda.

The demand has already sparked wide debates online, with many Nigerians weighing in on issues of equity, inclusion, and regional balance in governance.
