Mrs. Obiano Commissions Toilets in two Markets
       ...Restates Commitment to Charity
By Daniel Eze

Wife of the Governor of Anambra State and founder of the charity organization, Caring Family Enhancement Initiative, CAFE, Dr. (Mrs.) Ebelechukwu Obiano (Osodieme) has commissioned two toilet projects on 18 December 2021 at Eke Fada Market, Owerre-Ezukala and Afor Enugwu-Umuonyia, Orumba South Local Government Area.

The projects, powered by the United Nations Development Programme, UNDP, are among the twenty-two already built by CAFE in select rural markets across Anambra State and donated to help stop open defecation.

The toilets, which come with steady running water and standby generator set, are expected to provide decent enclosure for traders, especially the market women, and promote personal hygiene and environmental cleanliness.

Speaking at each of the markets, Mrs. Obiano, represented by the Commissioner for Housing and Urban Renewal, Architect Mike Okonkwo, thanked the people for voting for the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in November 6 governorship election. She noted that even though her husband's tenure is officially winding down in March next year, she is still committed to continue working through her NGO to improve fortunes of the less privileged in the society.


The governor's wife stated that the toilet projects with many other programmes of CAFE, are her way of supporting her husband's leadership efforts, asked the women who would be taking care of the projects to ensure that they are properly and constantly maintained.

She also expressed happiness that her husband, Governor Obiano, would leave office with his shoulders high, having laid a strong foundation for successful leadership in his more than seven years in power.

In his remarks, Deputy Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Emeka Ozumba, who is also CAFE's Project Manager, explained that through the rural market toilet scheme Mrs. Obiano aims to protect the dignity of women and give them a sense of decency, as well as boost the campaign to stop open defecation and hygiene-related sicknesses in the communities.

Transition Committee Chairman of Orumba South, Chief Cyprian Okereke, in his remarks said that the governor's wife has effectively used CAFE to set a template for social intervention in Anambra State and beyond. In the same vein, the President General of Owerre-Ezukala, Barrister Anayo Emejuo, and his Enugwu-Umuonyia counterpart, Mr Hillary Mbanusi, said that the toilet projects would help greatly in the markets. They praised the governor's wife for providing solid support to her husband's legacies.

The women of Owerre-Ezukalla and Enugwu Umuonyia were not left out as they sang and danced whilst commending Osodieme for fulfilling her promises to their respective communities.

Such a poor structure in a dirty environment!
I'm sure no maintenance plan will be put in place to keep the proper functioning of the toilet. A toilet that might end up being locked against public use till it's complete decapitation.

It beats my imagination how everything is commissioned & celebrated in Africa by our so called honourables,wives & colleagues.

What a show of shame.

Shameful and Pathetic.

But what do I know?

You will not understand the importance of that project until you are having a running stomach one day and it just happened to start in the market.

Do you know that most Nigerian public markets lacks this simple but very important amenities?

98% of Nigerian market doesn't even have this in place while the other 2% have it but due to poor maintenance, they are useless. Hopefully that won't be the case with this one.

There are so many very simple but also very necessary and important social amenities like this that Nigeria is lacking in mostly public places.

Whether it's a huge or small project, that they have it is a good initiative.

The money spent for the commissioning could be more than the money allocated for the project.

Wife of a governor go commission toilets, like wtf

Thats a project to be done by the councillor or Market Union Chairman, and not the wife of the governor for christ sake.

Please stop celebrating mediocrity.

I hope children of hate will not come for her, because they are saddest, who never see anything good

Lets blame tinubu also here
