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.
