Abia Airport: Deputy Speaker, Kalu Commends President Tinubu, FG for Prioritizing Devt of S/East


The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government for prioritizing the development of the South East region. 


Specifically, Kalu acknowledged the Federal Government's efforts in initiating the construction of the Abia Airport, which is set to commence next Tuesday.


Kalu said that the Abia Airport project is a testament to the Federal Government's commitment to bridging the infrastructure gap in the region. 


He noted that the project will not only boost economic activities in Abia State but also enhance connectivity and facilitate trade across the South East.


Kalu's commendation comes on the heels of Governor Alex Otti's clarification during the December edition of his monthly media briefing that the Abia Airport is a federal government project, with the state government providing necessary support.


It will be recalled that Kalu who represents Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State facilitated the project from the federal government and later shared the idea with the Governor who indicated interest and agreed to upgrade it to a full-fledged airport instead of an airstrip earlier conceptualized.


Revealing that the Governor has invited him to the groundbreaking on Tuesday, Kalu lauded the synergy that exists between the State and the Federal Government through the elected representatives. 


Regretting that he will not be available for the event due to the presentation of 2025 national budget scheduled the same day, Kalu assured however Governor Otti who noted his reason as extremely cogent that as the Deputy Speaker of the national parliament, he will continue to attract people-oriented projects due to Abia.


He expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his interest in developing the South East region, particularly with the approval of the construction of the airport and the creation of the South East Development Commission (SEDC) for the region which came in quick succession. 


The Deputy Speaker assured that the pprojects will contribute to the President's economic plans, aiming to address Nigeria's economic challenges and infrastructure deficits.

Levinus Nwabughiogu, Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Federal Republic of Nigeria
