The South-East Development Commission (SEDC) expressed concern that individual prosperity is undermining regional development in the South-east. It noted that while people from the region trust one another socially, they are reluctant to pool resources for joint business ventures, which could hinder regional development. The commission urged the South-east business community to strengthen public-private partnerships, invest in manufacturing, and create enterprises capable of surviving their founders. Executive Director (Projects) Hon. Toby Okechukwu made these remarks at the 10th anniversary of De Pinnacle International Social Club in Abuja.
