Major investments in Nigeria are Igbo-owned — Speaker

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has said that a sizeable chunk of the major investments in many parts of Nigeria are Igbo-owned.

Speaking at an event in Bende, Abia State, on Friday, December 29, the lawmaker said: “Between 1956 and 1965, the then Eastern region was regarded as the fastest-growing economy in Africa and Asia. Indeed, the South-East has remained an economic powerhouse in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa, leading in trade and commerce.
