Senator Osita Ngwu recently confronted Senate President Godswill Akpabio over the alleged marginalization of the Southeast region in national development plans. The confrontation occurred during a heated Senate session, where Ngwu questioned Akpabio about the distribution of infrastructure projects under the federal government's Renewed Hope Agenda.
Ngwu's concerns centered around the fact that the Southeast region was entirely left out of key allocations, particularly in the water resources sector, despite over N1.3 trillion being released for national infrastructure. He cited the example of the Evo Dam project, which has been stalled for 12 years with no funding, while other regions received significant allocations.
