“We took briefing from the committee and are satisfied with all arrangements that will lead to South East State Houses of Assembly enacting a law to back up the programme.
“We have written the Federal Government in this regard and at the appropriate time we shall be inviting them to note the details of the programme,” he said.
Umahi assured the people of the region of their security as the respective state governments had put in place adequate security measures to safeguard them.
The SEGF chairman said the forum was satisfied with the extent and quality of rehabilitation work at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, and the Second Niger Bridge.
