…As monarch, others, hail development strides
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has mandated contractors
handling various government projects in the state to ensure that they
continue to deliver quality jobs and adhere to the contract completion
period.
Gov. Ugwuanyi, who spoke through his deputy, Mrs. Cecilia Ezeilo, when
she paid unscheduled visits to some ongoing projects for inspection,
reiterated the state government’s unflinching commitment towards
providing quality infrastructure for the people of the state to
continue to enjoy more democracy dividends.
The sites inspected include the
Ogurute-Mkpamute-Igogoro-Ikpamodo-Okpo-Amaja road and the Ogurute –
Umuogbo-Umuopu-Ette road in Igbo-Eze Local Government Area; the Enugu
State Waste Management Authority (ESWAMA) dump site road at Ogui,
Enugu North L.G.A.
Others include the Igbo Ano Specialist Hospital; the Agbani District
Hospital, Nkanu West L.G.A; Nsukka Magistrate Court building and the
erosion control project along Ugwogo Nike –Opi Nsukka road.
Mrs. Ezeilo, who was accompanied to the project sites by the
Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Greg Nnaji, said
that the essence of the inspection was to ensure that the contractors
lived up to expectation and “deliver these essential amenities to the
benefiting communities on record time”.
While receiving the deputy governor and her entourage at Enugu Ezike
in Igbo-Eze North L.G.A, amid excitement from a mammoth crowd, the
traditional ruler of Umuoma Okpo autonomous community, HRH Igwe
Patrick Okeyi described the on-going infrastructural development in
Enugu State under Governor Ugwuanyi as unprecedented.
The royal father, who applauded Gov. Ugwuanyi’s grassroots development
initiatives, stated that he has never witnessed such strides being
executed in the rural areas to connect adjoining communities, adding
that the projects have given the dwellers a sense of belonging.
His words: “Your Excellency, I have to say that since the creation of
this state, I have never seen this type of development. This ongoing
road project connects seven communities and links us to Kogi State.
The communities are agrarian areas and inaccessible road hinders our
efforts in producing food and bringing them to the markets. So, we are
grateful to you, Your Excellency”.
Also speaking, the Chairman of Igbo-Eze North L.G.A, Comrade Uwakwe
Ezeja extolled the governor’s leadership qualities, stressing that his
selfless service has impacted positively on the lives of the people of
the area in particular and the state in general.
Represented by his deputy, Hon. Luke Uroko, the council chairman said:
“Your Excellency, we are proud of you. You have wiped away our tears.
We say thank you and assure you that we shall reciprocate through our
massive votes in 2019.
