 FG reaffirms commitment to North-East inclusion in Agro-Industrial Project amid exclusion claims The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has dismissed concerns raised by the North-East Caucus of the National Assembly regarding the alleged exclusion of the region from the Federal Government's flagship agricultural initiative the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone (SAPZ) program. The minister of agriculture and food security Sen. Abubakar Kyari made the clarification over the weekend while briefing the media. He noted that the North-East is not only included in the SAPZ program, but that several states from the region have already met the eligibility criteria for the second phase of the project. The response comes on the heels of public criticisms sparked by the recent groundbreaking ceremonies in Kaduna and Cross River states.

 2-storey building collapses in Umuahia


A two-storey building under construction in Amangwu Ohokobe Ndume, Umuahia North LGA of Abia State has collapsed.


The building which had just been roofed, collapsed on Saturday evening but fortunately, no worker was inside the house when it caved in.


The cause of the building collapse has not been established officially but some residents of Amangwu Ohokobe Ndume who spoke to Journalists after the incident blamed it on substandard materials allegedly used by the site Engineer while others blamed it on poor supervision of works.


The residents disclosed that workers were supposed to start on the interior parts of the house immediately after roofing but fortunately, it was postponed to a new date.


“The postponement was the saving grace for the workers because if they were at work when the house collapsed, who knows what would have happened to them?” Nkechi, a resident of Ohokobe said.


She added that the site Engineer had gone underground after the incident.


It would be recalled that a 3-storey building still under construction collapsed in June in Obingwu, Ukwa West LGA of Abia, killing five site workers.
