The Special Adviser to Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has assured that the President will complete ongoing legacy projects in the South-East before the expiration of his administration in 2023.
Receiving the Editorial management of Orient Daily Newspaper, led by veteran journalist and Editor-in-Chief, Stanley Egbochuku, the presidential spokesman said several ongoing Federal projects in the five south-eastern states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo were at different stages of completion.
He recounted that in 2018, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, had listed 69 ongoing projects in the region, mainly roads and bridges, funded from budgetary allocations, the Sukuk Bond and the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund.
Adesina in a statement issued by the Deputy Director Information, State House, Attah Esa, welcomed the initiative by the media group to partner with his office to uphold professionalism in the media industry.
The Orient Daily Editor-in-Chief and Chief Operating Officer told the president’s spokesmen that the Awka-based publication recently received an approval for a facility, which would boost its operations and circulation across the country.
He stressed that the media organisation with the slogan, “Setting the Bound Free,” wants to be a legacy media house, adding, “if we work with you we know we will get the needed support.”
