Tinubu’s Reforms Will Yield Long-Term Gains — Senator Kalu

Chairman of the Senate Committee on the South-East Development Commission, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu,  expressed confidence in President Tinubu’s reform agenda, describing it as a painful but necessary process that will yield long-term benefits for Nigerians.

“Reforms come with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Nigerians are feeling pain, yes, but these pains will lead to long-term gain,” he explained. “I’ve sponsored a bill on social welfare and investment to reduce poverty, and I will meet the President to fast-track it. We must show Nigerians that we have them in our hearts.”

Kalu also highlighted ongoing federal road projects across the South-East, including those linking Enugu, Lokpanta, Aba, Port Harcourt, Bende, and Arochukwu, noting that such developments demonstrate the federal government’s renewed commitment to the region.
