His Excellency Chief Willie Obiano
Executive Governor of Anambra State
Governor’s Office
State Secretariat, Awka.
Your Excellency,
Marginalization of the people of Urum, Amanuke and Isu-Aniocha in Awka-North LGA by the Anambra state government since time immemorial.
Your excellency, please permit me to make this an open letter as the subsequent letters addressed to the state government has never been replied
One would think that being 7km from the capital will be a good omen for any people but this is not so and has never been so for the people of Urum, Amanuke and Isu-Aniocha communities. A people with a population of more than 62, 000 people (census, 2006) yet cannot boast of any state government project since the creation of the state.
Road;

In this 21st century and in the current Nigeria of our time one would think that towns and villages should at least be accessible by at worst a motorcycle( Okada) but this is not so for the towns mentioned above. With its richness in agricultural products, notable amongst them, Garri (the popular Garri Mgbakwu), Vegetables, Yam and Rice, one would think that giving a good access road not even to the farmlands but at least to the state capital which is 11km away or the link roads to other towns would help in boasting the internally generated revenue (IGR) of the state irrespective of how little it might be.
Sir, would you believe that the roads that link these three communities to the state have never for once received an attention either from the state or local government since the creation of Nigeria. This has left the roads a no go area to road transport operators even the popular Okada. This poor road network has not only left the communities undeveloped but has also pulverised the indigenes’ of these community as they find it difficult moving their farm produce to a place where it will at least be exchanged for their other pressing needs.
The then Peter Obi’s administration in a live TV program promised a caller (myself) that the roads will receive a good attention the moment the Awba-Ugbene road was completed which was just an on air promise that was never kept, only to turn around and construct a bypass from the communities that leads to his farm at the out sketch of the town making access to the major road even worst.
I do not intend to lecture you on the importance of these roads if constructed. But permit me to point out some few important point.
Decongesting Awka the state capital might not be an easy task for any government, this has sky rocketed the prices of rents and cost of living but with the construction of these roads the state capital which is a 10 minutes’ drive away from any of these locations will be drastically decongested. Also there will be reduction of cost of living as the farm products from these communities will be freely transported to the capital thereby abating the high cost of food stuffs in the market.
Health Care;
Tired of the campaign promises of politicians, the women of the community tasked themselves , built and handed over a health care centre to the state government which all they need do is assign a qualified health care practitioners to the centre but this too has become a reoccurring plea time after another. With the roads dilapidated, transportation means hardly found and if found very expensive, having access to a good medical care has become a big challenge to the people of these communities. We only dream and wish when we hear of donations made to hospitals and health care centres in other communities yet getting a health care administrator to our own community seems a big task for the state government.
Finally before i draw the curtain, I wish to draw your attention in some other related matters:
Our schools have more PTA paid teachers than the government paid teachers making access to education difficult as most parents see going to school

So you couldn't copy these to biafran radio and biafran news agents is to bring it here for yorubas and northerners to start insulting us.and give us a thousand reason why biafran we never work.
You are a big fool.
