Southeast region warned not to shun FG intervention programmes.

The people of the South East have been warned against shunning intervention programs introduced by the Federal government to cushion economic hardship.

The traditional ruler of Umutowe autonomous community, Olokoro, Umuahia South LGA, Godfrey Onwuka, stated this in Umuahia at a sensitization program organized by the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation, on Thursday.

He identified student loan, Compressed Natural Gas Initiative, micro and small business loans, among others as programs that should not be abandoned for other zones to enjoy alone.

Onwuka warned that Abia State indigenes and the South East in general should not fail in taking the advantages provided by the Federal government, even as he urged the National Orientation Agency (NOA) to collaborate with Abia State Orientation Agency in drumming the campaigns in rural and urban areas in order to disabuse the minds of Abia people and the southeast in general.
