The Senate Committe on the South East Development Commission (SEDC) has been urged to give the management of the development agency a breathing space to execute its mandate effectively.

Leader of a socio-political organisation, the Igbo Agenda, Chief Chekwas Okorie, made the appeal Wednesday at a press conference in Enugu, saying that “it is too early” to start making unfounded allegations against the management.

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on SEDC, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu had last week alleged that the SEDC management led by Mark Okoye had engaged in frivolous spending of funds meant for development projects.
