Each time we visit that bridge location, it is always like a dream and so we the people of the South-East are very grateful to the President for this.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cWe also thank him for the award of the Eastern corridor of the railway line. This is a project that is going to fast track commercial activities of our people.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nThe governor also lauded the president for introducing a fertilizer programme that would help the country attain food sufficiency.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cLet me point out that without the effort of President Buhari through this fertilizer initiative and other programmes in the agricultural sector, it would have been a very difficult time for this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so, that project is supposed to produce a large set of granules to enable us to produce fertiliser to serve the South-South, South-East and parts of North-Central.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cMr President has already approved the funds and released them to the Solid Mineral Development Fund. But part of the requirement is that there must be SPV integration or private sector initiative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have applied to Mr President for approval through the chief of staff. So we had to remind Mr President,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the continuous adherence to the sit-at-home order by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by the citizens of the state despite its suspension, Umahi identified fear of the unknown as reason for the citizens\u2019 action.<\/p>\n<p>He said: It is a question of fear\u2026 You know, the easiest thing to do is to carry weapon and kill somebody, and that\u2019s what happened in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s why some people in South-East are afraid of coming out. Even if you go now to the street and you hold AK 47, people will desert the street.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it\u2019s not a question of compliance. It\u2019s a question of fear\u201c, the governor said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi says President Muhammadu Buhari is set to inaugurate 20 successfully executed projects by the state government.
