SOUTH-EAST, SOUTH-SOUTH UNITE AT OWERRI SUMMIT, SEEK ECONOMIC INTEGRATION
All is set for the South-East, South-South international conference taking place in Owerri on 18th April 2017.
The conference is being organized by the South-East/South-South Network, [SESSNet] a group of professionals campaigning for the 11 states in the South-East and South-South to form an Economic Union.
In a press statement issued by the Organizing Committee, the group stated that the 11 state governors of the zones, Lawmakers, Industrialists/Manufacturers and employers of labour, Chambers of Commerce, Professionals, Women groups, Religious/Community and Youth leaders are expected and invited to attend.
According to the statement signed by groups’ spokesperson Mrs Emem Dunn, the theme of the Conference is ‘South-East and South-South: Towards Greater Economic Union.’
Issues to be discussed at the conference include: Fiscal Federalism, Economic Integration, Political Integration, addressing Regional Fears, Mistrust and Political Concerns and Inter-regional Commerce among the eleven states of the South-South and South-East.
According to SESSNet, the forum will give the South-South and South-East states ample opportunity to focus on its natural resources in developing areas of its comparative advantage and ultimately entrench inter-regional trade and commerce.
Lamenting that the region has been stunted by inherent contradictions of the Nigerian State, SESSNet further stated that the South-South and South-East regions have enormous potentials in terms of human, economic and natural resources, the largest in Sub Saharan Africa.
