The Igbo Community Association in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has acknowledged the efforts of the Vice President, Kashim Shettima in his glowing glowing accolades for the Igbo-speaking people at the Imo Economic Summit.
In a press release sent to THE RAZOR NEWSPAPER and signed by the Ikenna Ellis-Ezenekwe, President General, Igbo Community Association FCT and Emmanuel Chinwoke Onah, Secretary General, Igbo Community Association FCT, the group appreciated the recognition, emphasizing that such action speak louder than words.
The release continued that: “The Bola Tinubu administration’s policies, like previous ones, seem to perpetuate the marginalization of the South East region.
“The lack of significant investment in railway and seaport upgrades in the region is stark. Political appointments and employment opportunities also appear to bypass the South East, contradicting the administration’s rhetoric.
“We urge the administration to practice what it preaches, ensuring equal opportunities and development for all regions. The Igbo people are willing participants in Nigeria’s growth, seeking a level playing ground, not mere lip service.
“It’s time for tangible actions that demonstrate the administration’s commitment to inclusivity and regional balance. We await concrete steps to address these concerns.”
