Business mogul and philanthropist, Chief Arthur Eze, has declared that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration was committed to the development of the South East zone.

Eze, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Oranto Petroleum, made this known yesterday in Enugu while reacting to the recent visit of President Tinubu to Enugu State, where he commissioned infrastructure projects by governor Peter Mbah.

In his reaction, Eze described Tinubu’s visit to Enugu as a moment of celebration and unity and a clear expression of his determination to develop the entire South East region.
“The visit reminded us of Awolowo, who fought for independence with Michael Okpara, yet he was jailed for seven years in Calabar,” he said, adding: “Tinubu has continued in that path.”

Eze further noted that the president’s establishment of the South East Development Commission was another expression of his commitment to bring about meaningful change to the region.
“While past administrations neglected the region, he came on board and remembered us, that the commission will solve a lot of problems, including provision of jobs for our teeming youths,” he said.

Meanwhile, the business mogul has also commended Mbah for his giant development strides, particularly in the area of security since coming on board as governor.
He called on other governors in the Southeast to follow Mbah’s examples in addressing security challenges, which according to him, is a major guarantee for investment.
