Of The N433.4 Billion Earmarked For Fashiola, South East Gets ONLY N2.9 Billion

They said we are one Nigeria and yet when it comes to the South East, they continue to marginalize the zone and someone somewhere is still wondering what the Igbos want?

Well, if they do not stop the marginalization of the Igbos how then do they expect to stop rthe embers of discontentment being fanned out there?

Let those who have ears to hear, let them hear!!!!

A Daily Trust analysis has revealed that of the N433.3 Billion total sum for the Capital Projects of the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing and its Agencies, a paltry sum of N2.9 Billion is earmarked for the South East Geopolitical Zone of the Federation ( the much touted 5% Zone)

"The Southwest geo-political zone has got the largest share of N88.7 billion for major projects in the 2016 proposed budget for the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, a Daily Trust analysis has revealed.

The ministry has N433.4 billion total sum for the capital projects of the ministry and some agencies under it".

"The North-West has the second largest allocation of N30.1 billion; 

North-Central, N29 billion; 

South-South, N22.5 billion; 

North-East has N9.4 billion.

This is surely not in the best interest of the Nation
