"This could involve implementing Federal Government’s policies and programmes that promote inclusivity, equitable resource allocation and socio-economic development in the region."
Tinubu urged to prioritise infrastructural development in southeast
They suggested a full-time collaboration between the federal government and the southeast in boosting infrastructure development, like the construction of dams, deep sea ports, inter-state standard gauge railway lines, job creation, and overseas training of repented Biafra agitators could end the sit-at-home order.
The faction added that security operations should be treated with absolute professionalism and respect for human rights should be treated with absolute priority as it would help create a balance in maintaining law and order in the southeast.
As reported by Guardian, the Ohanaeze faction added:
“Federal Government, in collaboration with Ohanaeze Ndigbo, southeast governors, and other stakeholders, should promote reconciliation efforts aimed at healing wounds and divisions caused by the conflict.
“Investing in education and youth empowerment programmes can help address underlying issues of unemployment, poverty and social exclusion that contribute to grievances in the region.”
