Former Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, has urged Igbos to invest in the South East in order to bring development to the area.
According to her, it is safer for Igbos to have investments in the region. She added that the South East is economically viable for any kind of investment.
“Aku lue uno is a concept that encourages indigenes to think of their homes in their investments,” she told Sun News.
“It works in tandem with what World Bank is preaching, “shared prosperity” because the wealth of a man in now being measured by the level of poverty within their environment.
“It is not just the right thing to do, it is economically viable to invest in our homes, particularly for those from the South East and Anambra in particular.”
In addition, the Senator representing Anambra North noted that “We have the enabling community, we have the population and current government initiatives have provided enabling environment. So what we need is to plough back our investment and our commercial ability.
“What we have outside the South East zone should be replicated in the zone. We need to start domesticating our investments so we can help our people. We would help in improving the poverty level, we will help in creating jobs, we would help in growing our domestic economy.”
