Addis Ababa, May 12, 2020 (FBC) – Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed today held discussion with zonal leadership of the SNNP regional state.
The meeting underscored the importance of addressing the organizing principles within the region that will best respond to the multidimensional growth and sustainable peace of the Southern people.
During the discussion, additional issues that need to be further refined have been identified and agreement reached to return and deliberate after further refining proposed ideas.
The Prime Minister shared many times that the Southern region is bestowed with many natural and cultural endowments that position it as a pillar of national multi sectoral development.
Over the past two years, he travelled extensively within the region to listen from the people on what they consider crucial to the development of their communities.
While it remains that not all needs can be fulfilled in a short period of time, significant gains were made in addressing some of the infrastructure, investment and other related needs in the past couple of years.
