POWER TUSSLE AND CRISIS PREVENT SOME COMMUNITIES FROM BENEFITING FROM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS – GOV. UGWUANYI

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has advised communities that are yet to collect their first phase of ₦5,000,000 (five million naira) development grant to do so or forfeit it to the government.

The Governor stated this when the people of Igbo Eze North Local Government Area paid him a courtesy visit at Government House, Enugu.

While commending the people for their massive support to his re-election and to other PDP candidates, Governor Ugwuanyi expressed regret that many communities had not benefitted from the development fund due to crises and power tussle.

He urged the traditional rulers in the state to promote peace in their communities to benefit from the administration’s efforts to ensure even distribution of projects.

Earlier, the Chairman of Igbo Eze North Local Government  Area, Comrade Uwakwe Ezeja, said the visit was to felicitate with the Governor on his re-election.

He promised to ensure unity among the people for more development in the area.

Also, the House of Representatives member-elect for Udenu and Igbo Eze North Federal Constituency, Chief Simon Atigwe, and a PDP Chieftain in the area Nze Michael Onyeze, said the victory was well deserved going by the Governor’s achievements in the first tenure.

Others who spoke at the visit, including the Patron, Enugu State Traditional Rulers Council, Igwe Osisi Itodo commended Governor Ugwuanyi for developing rural areas and urged him not to relent in his plan to transform all parts of the state.
