AIAE Pledges Commitment to SENEC

AIAE has vowed to continue to engage the governments of the five South East States of Nigeria, the Organised Private Sector (OPS) and all stakeholders towards the establishment of the South East Nigeria Economic Commission (SENEC). The Executive Director, Professor Eric Eboh made this promise in his remarks at the South East Economic Summit held on between 1st of September, 2011 at Nike Lake Resort, Enugu.

Professor Eboh noted that the critical steps were to concretise the establishment of the body by constituting its statutory organs, providing the resources for the flag off of its operations. He averred that, “It is also important to deepen its legitimacy through the formal participation and engagement of civil societies throughout the five states and by the enactment of bills by the various State Houses of Assembly.”

Eminent personalities who are indigenes of the South East zone who graced the occasion paid glowing tributes to AIAE for the onerous task so far done on SENEC, and therefore called on the South East Governors Forum to put machinery in motion towards the formal take off of the body.
