I commend the Board and Management of SEDC, led by Mr. Mark Okoye, for thinking ahead and choosing projects that speak directly to our region's needs, and for building the partnerships that will make them happen.
My gratitude goes to the President for his attention to the development of the South East and his support for development commissions across the country through interventions that create opportunities for economic growth.

Can strategic investments like the SEDC gas pipeline help turn that vision into reality?

SEDC Begins Intervention Programme for Flood-Affected Communities in the South East
Following consultations with state governments across the region, the South East Development Commission (SEDC) has commenced a regional intervention to support communities affected by flooding and other climate-related disasters.
The first delivery took place in Anambra State on Friday, 16 October, with relief materials, including food items, mattresses, sanitary pads and diapers, handed over to the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) in the presence of the Deputy Governor. The intervention is intended to complement the State Government’s ongoing relief efforts, with distribution to continue in other affected states across the region.
Beyond immediate relief, SEDC will pursue longer-term climate adaptation and resilience measures under its South-East Climate Resilience and Green Infrastructure Programme (SECRGIP). In collaboration with state governments, NiMet and other relevant agencies, this will include identifying and mapping disaster-prone communities and strengthening regional preparedness for future climate and ecological challenges.
Through this integrated approach, SEDC is addressing urgent humanitarian needs while working towards a more climate-resilient South East.
Our work in Nomeh Unateze is only the beginning.
In this conversation with ARISE News, our Executive Director for Natural Resources, Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Clifford Ogbede, discusses the South East Agro-Development Programme, our pilot project now underway in Enugu State, and the broader SEDC agenda.
From agriculture and industrialisation to infrastructure and investment, we are working to translate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda into tangible economic outcomes across the South East.
For agriculture, the goal goes beyond land clearing. We are building a model around mechanised production, aggregation, processing and private-sector participation that can be refined and scaled across the region.
Nomeh Unateze is the first step.
An insightful conversation worth watching.
