Igbo youth leaders and stakeholders from across the seven Igbo-speaking states across the country have thrown their weight behind the leadership of the South East Development Commission.
The group also called on President Bola Tinubu to give more opportunities for federal appointments to young people from the South-East.
They made their position known during the ‘Igbo Youth Leaders and Stakeholders Convention’ held in Awka, on Friday.
Speaking during the convention, the Convener, Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu, commended President Tinubu for establishing the SEDC, describing it as a major step towards addressing the developmental challenges of the region.
He also praised the Federal Government for its ongoing road construction and other infrastructure projects in the South-East.
