Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, had called for a visible Federal Government presence in the Southeast geopolitical zone and Anambra state in particular.
The Governor said this when he received the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, BabatundeFashola at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia.
He stressed that any positive action taken by the federal government in the Southeast presently would go a long way in rekindling confidence and sense of belonging in them.
The Minister assured the Governor of the commitment of the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to stimulate the economy with infrastructural development and that the Southeast would get its fair share.
Fashola had been in the Southeast for a week inspecting federal projects, especially the Second Niger Bridge project and the roads.
The Minister whose entourage comprised top officials of the Ministry, commended Governor Obiano for his intervention on some failed federal roads and assured him that modalities of reimbursement were being worked out.
He promised that inspection would be constant until the bridge is completed.
