South-East Governors on Friday
met at the Government House, Enugu, to deliberate on the preparations for the
burial of the late elder statesman and former Vice President, Chief Dr. Alex
Ekwueme, scheduled to hold on Friday, February 2, 2018.
At the meeting were Governors
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu); Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia); David Umahi (Ebonyi); Willie
Obiano (Anambra); and the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere.
Briefing journalists after the
meeting, the Chairman of the South East Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ebonyi
State, Engr. David Umahi stated that the South East Governors are “very
committed” to the programme, stressing that their presence at the gathering
“underscores the seriousness the governors have attached to this important
burial of our late father”.
Gov. Umahi noted that the
Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, who was represented by his
deputy, Prince Eze Madumere, was “out of the South East” and couldn’t attend
the meeting in person.
The Chairman of the forum added
that the governors studied the budget for the burial, disclosing that the
timetable was out and the details are with the Director General of the Forum.
He said that the forum also
reviewed its previous deliberations on the railway for the South East, gas to
industrial zones and other issues such as the recently held South East Economic
Summit.
