Tinubu govt assures Igbos of developmental projects in South-East
President Bola Tinubu’s government has restated its commitment to sustain the execution of developmental projects in the South-East.
Information minister Mohammed Idris said this during the tour of projects in Enugu. According to him, the president will continue to prioritise the development of the South East and other regions.
The minister is undertaking a three-day citizens’ engagement and tour of projects in Enugu and Ebonyi.
The essence of the tour is to interact directly with citizens and showcase ongoing projects of the Tinubu-led administration in the region.
The minister and his entourage inspected the ongoing dualisation of Enugu-Port Harcourt federal road and the ongoing construction of a flyover bridge to link Enugu and Abakaliki towns at Ike Obinagu.
Also inspected, was another flyover bridge at Amakwa junction, all in Enugu.
At the oncology centre of the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Idris expressed satisfaction with the progress in the treatment of cancer patients. He stressed the importance of the centre to the people of the region in the treatment of cancer.
The minister narrated how a lady from the region, who regularly visited Lagos for routine treatment of cancer, got a reprieve with the establishment of a facility.
According to the minister, the patient no longer has to travel out of Enugu, to get even better treatment.
Mr Idris assured that the Tinubu administration is replicating the giant strides across the country.
“There are six of these oncology centres across the country; three of them have already been commissioned, three are underway, and then the count continues. We thank Tinubu, his renewed hope, agenda, and the transformational drive being undertaken by the Minister of Health, Prof. Ali Pate, to ensure that these facilities are provided for our people,” Mr Idris said.
Mr Idris added, “It will not stop there, the federal government will continue to provide these facilities for the benefit of our people. President Tinubu is really ensuring that the dividends of democracy get to the people of Enugu and the South-East region in general.”
