The Deputy President of the Senate,
Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has donated an electricity transformer to boost power
supply in Umulumgbe community in Udi local Government of Enugu State.
He said the donation was informed by the
desire to bring development to his constituents and also to compliment the
efforts of the state and local governments in providing critical infrastructure
to the people.
Ekweremadu made the donation on the
occasion of the grand reception organised by the community in honour of the
Governor of Enugu State, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the Chairman of Udi LGA,
Engr. Hyacinth Ugwu, at Umulumgbe over the weekend.
Senator Ekweremadu, who commended
Governor Ugwuanyi for the peace and developmental efforts by his administration
despite present economic challenges and depleted resources, however, noted that
government alone could not meet the demands of the people in terms of the
provision of employment and critical infrastructure. He, therefore, called on public-spirited
individuals and corporate bodies to support government in achieving better life
for the people.
He ovbserved: “The principal purpose of
government is the welfare and security of the people; and we will continue to
pursue that. I want to reassure the people of Umulumgbe that I will immediately
deliver the transformer you require for your electricity in furtherance of my
support to the community, the local government, and the state government.
“The narrative of governance in Enugu
state has changed for the better. Enugu west and indeed the entire state are
peaceful and we are working together for the benefit of the government and the
people. We have a governor who remembers every part of Enugu state in terms of
appointments and infrastructure. It shall be well with him.
In his remarks, Governor Ugwuanyi, said
his administration was determined to take development to all parts of the
state, adding that the recent flag-off of the execution of major roads and
other rural development projects in every part of the state marked the first
phase of the developmental scheme in the State.
Speaking earlier, the Chairman of Udi
LG, Engr. Ngwu, expressed gratitude to Senator Ekweremadu for the quality
representation and leadership he had accorded the people of Enugu west, Enugu
State, and Ndigbo in general over the years.
He equally applauded the synergy between
the Governor and the Deputy President of the Senate, stresssing that it was
necessary in moving the state forward.
