The Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Ben Kalu has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to grant the South Easterners a sea port to enhance trade in the zone.
“But I must say it is about time that we had another sea port in the South East;
South Easterners are mainly traders and
We need a sea port to enhance our trading.
“I also want to say that the destruction and the demolition of the houses, the offices of our brothers in Lagos makes our hearts bleed.” He said.
Kalu pleaded with the president to speak with the Lagos State governor to allow the Igbo people whose houses have not been destroyed already to regularize their documents.
He said that destruction at this time of hardship makes the hearts of victims bleed, stressing that the need for an amicable resolution rather than destruction of property.
