Ugwuanyi’s N10m project for every community pays off, as he inaugurates Ibagwa Nike ICT Centre, Borehole, others

The “one community, one project” initiative of the Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi administration paid off on Friday in Ibagwa Nike, Enugu East Local Government Area, Enugu State, as the governor inaugurated projects executed by the community with the first tranche of N5million disbursed by the state government to autonomous communities in the state to carry out development projects of their choice.

The N5million, which was recently presented to the Traditional Rulers and the President Generals of Town Unions in the communities, was utilized by the Ibagwa Nike community to provide an Information Communication Technology (ICT) centre to educate and enhance the skills of the youth in partnership with National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN).

It was also used to complete the borehole project for the community for adequate water supply as well as furnishing of the Prince Engr. Arthur Eze Community Development Centre, which contains a Pro-credit Microfinance Bank and the offices of the Traditional Prime Minister; Neighborhood Watch Association; General Secretary of the community; the Youths and Sports President and Customary Court Registrar.

Introducing the projects to Gov. Ugwuanyi for inauguration, the Traditional Ruler of the community, Igwe Emmanuel Ugwu, on behalf of the people of the area, appreciated the governor’s commitment to rural development and participatory democracy, noting that his administration’s vision to ensure that development reaches to every community in the state was unprecedented and a good omen for the state.

It would be recalled that Gov. Ugwuanyi, through the approval of the State Executive Council (EXCO), earmarked N2.25 billion for 450 autonomous communities in the state as the first tranche of the N10 million for the execution of development projects of their choice. Recently, the governor formally handed over N5 million cheque each to 118 autonomous communities that had then fulfilled the requirements for the release of the fund.

Gov. Ugwuanyi while presenting the cheques to the communities stated that the decision was in line with his administration’s resolve to empower each autonomous community in the state with the sum of N10 million to carry out projects that would address their “peculiar and immediate development needs”.

He added that his administration decided that the choice of the projects and their execution were left “entirely” to the discretion of the stakeholders of each individual community, saying: “This was in fulfillment of our promise to promote participatory democracy and extensive rural development in the state as well as the involvement of all local communities in the implementation of government policies and programmes”.

Inaugurating the Ibagwa Nike projects, Gov. Ugwuanyi commended the community for the “prompt completion” of the state government development projects, describing it as “gratifying”.

The governor stated that the projects will add a significant value to the development of the area as well as wellbeing of the people, and called on other communities in the state to toe the same line with the Ibagwa Nike community in the development of their communities with the resources given to them by the state government.

He therefore, reiterated his administration’s commitment to rural development and wellbeing of the entire people of the state.

I don't know why this people are been praised for the little things they do when it's their duty.



Smh

Weytin concern me

Cry cry governor

Nothing keeps my spirit away from an 042 tale.
It's more than a code.
It's a way of life.

Ugwuanyi will unfortunately never fit into the big shoes of any of Enugu's past governors and will forever be seen as a mistake to the throne.
Never before has Enugu seen a leader so docile and timid. A leader confusion gbara gburugburu

We know the brain behind this project and to him the honour is due.
Nice one Arthur one thousand...

Is that a borehole he's commissioning or what

See what our leaders have reduced us to. Just try to imagine someone like Jeb Bush, Governor of Florida, commissioning a borehole. Lmao.

Good job governor

First is Anambra,now its Enugu, next might be Ebonyi till It get to the entire eastern states. igboland Amaka!

AnonyNymous:

No it's a latrine.

This is an indirect means to win elections through the Community leadership.

Obiano did it in Anambra State and it worked for him.

Good one

Election is drawing near, eye service mode activated, the youths that are suppose to bring about a change in this country are busying watching BBnaija and guessing if Miracle or Nina will win the money, politicians will always continue to decieve Nigerians as long as there is Bags of Rice and Salt to share with some little change.

OK oooo

I am tired of seeing politicians commissioning boreholes, motor parks, public toilet stalls, 3 bedroom flat

.

It's his duty to give people good life.

It's not a privilege to get good things from the government u voted into power, it should be a right..

Don't praise any looting rogue called politician in Nigeria.

You should know something is around the corner...think!

Yeye dey smell

Excluding imo state

Copying Anambra in everything,, I love Enugu anyway,.

V .v good

Bolustical:

A governor commissioning borehole in the 21st century, I really don't have a problem with that since it is commensurate the level of their civilization.

But let a governor from the West and/or North commission an hospital or roads/bus terminal (or other bigger projects), that is when you will know it's not 'world class', 'it's his job', 'our oyel money' (when in fact there are contentions over the status of one of their five villages), 'parasites', "unnecssary", "white elephantproject" etc.

I am not surprised, from mediocrities like "Keke Ambulance in Ebonyi and Anambra" to "Boreholes and Kegs in Anambra and Enugu".

What more can we expect?

I understand ur argument but to do borehole in Enugu is as difficult as doing in far North. meanwhile, politics is local n politicians do everything according to their local needs
