Governor Mbah sat down with Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and the Senate Committee on the South East Development Commission on Monday, and he came with a clear list of priorities.
At the top of that list: a gas pipeline, regional railways, and direct support for an industrial programme. The governor did not hold back in making his expectations known to the committee, signalling that infrastructure and economic development in the South East are non-negotiable conversations right now.
With Senator Kalu leading the committee visit, the meeting carries some weight. Both men are prominent voices in the South East, and what comes out of this kind of engagement could shape how SEDC resources are directed in the months ahead. Whether the commission delivers on these asks is the question worth watching.
