The PISE-P is an initiative spearheaded by the Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Okezie Kalu, aimed at fostering peace, curbing violent agitations, and addressing insecurity in the region.
Abbas expressed concern over the economic losses incurred by the South East due to ongoing agitations, emphasizing that the peace in the region is integral to the progress of the entire nation.
