Today, for the second time, I honoured the invitation of Hon. Professor Lilian Orogbu (@Oby_Orogbu), Member representing Awka North and South Federal Constituency, to commission several laudable projects she attracted to her constituency.
Among the projects commissioned were:
A 500kva transformer in Isuanaocha community, which has long been without electricity. This will significantly improve the quality of life for residents and support micro and small businesses in the area.
Over one kilometre of road in Umudioka, Awka South Local Government Area, a critical road in that community.
A newly constructed classroom block at Ikwodiaku Primary School, Awka, Awka South Local Government Area.
I am particularly delighted about the new classroom block at Ikwodiaku Primary School because of my personal connection to its history. When I was Governor of Anambra State, there was no single classroom building in that school. I vividly recall that in 2012, the then PTA Chairman, accompanied by all the students, came to the government house. When I asked why they were in front of my office, I was told that the pupils were learning under the sun and rain without any shelter.
As someone who values education deeply, I immediately promised them that I would respond in three weeks. In less than three weeks, I instructed a contractor to begin work in that school. I personally monitored the project and within a few months, classroom blocks were completed, giving the children a conducive learning environment.
Today, I was pleasantly surprised when the same PTA Chairman approached me during the event to remind me of that encounter. And now, thanks to Hon. Prof. Lilian Orogbu, the school has an additional block to further enhance learning.
Prof. Orogbu is gradually proving to be an outstanding Representative of the people and a true Leader. I have commissioned several of her constituency projects, and they clearly reflect her commitment to service and the welfare of her people.
