South-East Experiencing Tangible Progress – Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has said that the South East region is witnessing tangible progress through inclusive governance and grassroots development under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Kalu made this known on Monday following the inauguration of the Renewed Hope Partners (RHP) across several Local Government Areas in Abia State, including Ukwa East, Ukwa West, Ugwunagbo, Osisioma, and Obingwa.
The initiative, he explained, is designed to strengthen the grassroots pillars of the president’s development agenda in the South East.
Highlighting the ongoing transformation in the region, the Deputy Speaker cited the establishment of the South East Development Commission (SEDC), the ₦150 billion South East Investment Company (SEIC), the recommencement of the Port Harcourt–Maiduguri Eastern Rail Line, the expansion of gas processing plants, and the rollout of the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) transport initiative.



“Our region is witnessing tangible progress and inclusion,” Kalu said. “Through agriculture, housing, education, and infrastructure, the Renewed Hope Agenda is reshaping the story of the South East, driving equity, investment, and opportunity for all.”
He further revealed that plans are underway to extend the Renewed Hope Partners initiative to all 17 Local Government Areas of Abia State, alongside the creation of Renewed Hope Councils to connect communities directly to development programmes and ensure that government policies translate into real impact.
“The story of the South East is changing,” Kalu affirmed. “And it is changing for good.”
