Anambra West Not Marginalized, Transition Committee Chairman by ak47mann(m): 10:57pm On May 09, 2012
The Transition Committee Chairman of Anambra West Local Government Area of Anambra State, Dr. Tony Obierika, has declared that his council area was not marginalized by the State Government.

Dr. Obierika who spoke to Daily Sun in his sub-office at Umueze Anam, said it was wrong for anybody to believe that the local government was being marginalized by the present administration in Anambra State.

The Transition Committee Chairman who was reacting to statements that the area was suffering marginalization, said that contrary, the area had benefited from the present administration in the state than from any other government that had ruled the state in the past.
He stated that the first tarred road in Anambra West was done by the present administration.

“This is the only state government that has so for remembered Anambra West Local Government Area in terms of development. It therefore desired commendation and not unnecessary criticism,” he declared.
Mr. Obierika said that most of the dilapidated schools in the area had been renovated by the Peter Obi-led government.
According to him, the schools built in the 70’s were not renovated since then until the present administration gave them a face-lift.

Major development strides of the present administration in the area he said, include the tarring of Umueze Anam Mmiata road, the Otupa bridge which cost about N1 billion, the reconstruction of Mmiata Anam Primary School, Community Primary School Nzam and Ezi Anam Primary School Nzam and Ezi Anam Primary School, Umulora Anam.
The local government boss said that there was no community in Anambra West that had not benefited one thing or the other from the state government’s development programme.
Ongoing projects in the area he said, include Owelle Health Centre, Odekpe Health Centre, Umuota Comprehensive Health Centre and the Iyiora Health Centre.
He also noted that the Local Government Secretariat at Nzam was undergoing massive reconstruction.

The Anambra State Association of Town Unions yesterday commended the state Governor, Mr. Peter Obi for winning the Business Hallmark Man of the Year Award, describing him as a Serial Winner.

In a letter of commendation to the Governor and signed by the President, Dr. Innocent Onwubunya the unions noted that Obi has become darling of all in the country due to his achievements.

The letter reads in part, “Once upon a time, circumstances threw up a man whose second name became Victory. One by one he overcame every hurdle placed in his way by detractors and by so doing made history on each occasion.
“Peter Obi, Governor of Anambra State, has become so accustomed to winning that it has positively infected all Nigerians. As everybody loves a winner, Obi is today courted by all men of goodwill who treasure goodness, progress and truth. And so on May, 5, the winning governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi was bestowed with the Business Hallmark Man of the Year for 2011 Award.

“All the 177 communities in Anambra State strongly and very proudly identify with our legendary Governor in this latest achievement and wish him many more years of continued victories.”
Also the chairperson of the women’s wing of the union, Dr. Chinelo Okechukwu, in a letter of commendation to the Governor on behalf of Anambra women said, “Women in all the 177 communities in Anambra State wish to felicitate with our accomplished governor, His Excellency Peter Obi, Governor of Anambra State, for his Governor of the Year Award by Business Hallmark on May, 5, 2012.
“Your Excellency, this is yet another confirmation of your perception by Nigerians and proof of the recognition by them of your gallant efforts in strengthening the nation’s democracy. A good product needs no advertisement and your good work has found you out. You are truly the light of Anambra. We wish you many more years of service to your state and country.”

It could be recalled that the publisher of Business Hallmark, Prince Emeka Obasi had before the award said that Obi was chosen through rigorous distillation process.
He maintained that his choice was informed by his transformation of Anambra State from a pariah State to a state that everybody desired to be associated with now, following a massive positive revolution the Governor had introduced in the State. cool
