…Former Enugu lawmaker faults allocation, demands more federal projects in region

The Chairman of the Forum of Former Members of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Denge Josef Onoh, has criticised the Federal Government’s recent approval of ₦610.13 billion for infrastructure projects, alleging that the South-East was deliberately excluded from the major road projects.

Onoh described the development as a “dangerous economic provocation” and systemic marginalisation of the region, arguing that the South-East’s allocation was limited to a proposed trailer park in Aro-Ngwa, Abia State.
