The development, the group said marks a significant milestone in the administration’s efforts to drive balanced regional development.
The group, in a statement issued on Monday by Ambassador Timothy Ihemadu, outlined the key benefits of the initiative to include: Infrastructure Development, Private Sector Growth, Job Creation and Economic Integration.
In specific terms, the group believes that Infrastructure Development will address critical gaps in the South-East region, while Private Sector Growth will encourage investment in key industries.
