President Buhari in a two-day official visit to the South East has assured the Igbos that he will fulfill all the promises he made to them, most especially in the area of infrastructural development.

The president who is currently in Ebonyi state on a two-day working visit to the southeast part of Nigeria was warmly received and bestowed with a chieftaincy title: Enyioma 1 of Ebonyi and Ochioha Ndi Igbo 1.

In a statement by the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, he said the president expressed gratitude for the warm reception he received.

He said: ”My presence here today is a demonstration of our strong belief in the unity of Nigeria. As the most populous country in Africa, with over 300 ethnic groups, our diversity is unique among nations.

”When I met with leaders from the South East last month in Abuja, they raised several issues of concern, including the state of the roads and infrastructure in the region. I want to assure you that we will deliver on our promises.

”Our 2018 Budget includes many strategic projects for the region in the roads, power, agriculture and other sectors.”

The president inaugurated the 14.5km Abakiliki-Afikpo Federal road constructed by the Ebonyi State Government.

Buhari also commissioned the 700 metre length of the dual flyover over the Trans-Sahara route running from Enugu to Cameroon, and the Senator Offia Nwali flyover.
