Shettima

Vice-President Kashim Shettima has said infrastructure and development projects being implemented by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration are transforming the economic outlook of the South-East, highlighting federal investments in roads, agriculture and other critical sectors.

Shettima made the remarks during an All Progressives Congress (APC) political rally in Ebonyi State, where he outlined the administration’s interventions in the region and called attention to the economic opportunities expected from ongoing federal projects.

According to the Vice-President, the projects are designed to improve connectivity, strengthen food security, support businesses and expand economic opportunities across the South-East.

He identified infrastructure development as a major component of the Federal Government’s strategy to stimulate economic growth, noting that improved road networks would make transportation easier and facilitate the movement of agricultural produce and commercial goods.

The South-East remains an important economic region, with significant potential in manufacturing, trade, agriculture and entrepreneurship.

However, poor infrastructure and transportation challenges have continued to affect the movement of goods and services in some parts of the region.

The Federal Government’s road development initiatives are therefore expected to improve access between major commercial centres, reduce travel difficulties and strengthen connections with other parts of the country.

Shettima also highlighted agricultural interventions as part of efforts to improve food production and strengthen the region’s contribution to national food security.

Agriculture remains an important source of livelihood for many communities across the South-East, providing employment and supporting local markets.

Government support for farmers, improved access to agricultural resources and better transportation infrastructure could help increase productivity and reduce post-harvest losses.

The Vice-President’s comments also come amid efforts by the Tinubu administration to strengthen its political relationship with the South-East, a region where the APC has continued to pursue greater acceptance and electoral support.

His appearance at the Ebonyi rally provided an opportunity for the party to showcase federal government policies and projects while engaging residents and political stakeholders.

Nevertheless, the impact of the projects will ultimately be measured by their completion, accessibility and contribution to the daily lives of residents.

Businesses and communities across the region are expected to benefit if infrastructure investments translate into lower transportation costs, improved commercial activities and increased employment opportunities.

Shettima maintained that the Tinubu administration remained committed to development across the country, insisting that the South-East was an important part of the Federal Government’s national development agenda.
