The Director General of World Trade Organisation (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has tasked South East governors to improve the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the states and to judiciously utilize their federal allocations.

She said this while delivering a speech at the ongoing South East Summit on Economy and Security in Owerri, Imo State, where she also chastised the people of the region for being their biggest enemy by not supporting one another.

She noted that the Igbos have been individualistic, and have abandoned the sense of common purpose and focused on fragmentation.

She also lamented the security situation in the region and urged the south East governors to work collectively towards ending it.
