"Join Hands With The Government To Bring Development To Ebu" - ONLG Chairman, Hon. Esewezie Urges Community Stakeholders

...Takes Tour Of Community And Government Facilities In Ebu


The Executive Chairman of Oshimili North LGA, Hon Innocent Esewezie, during a tour of Ebu on Wednesday, urged Community leaders and stakeholders to join hands with the Government to bring development to their people.

Hon. Esewezie made this call while at the palace of the Royal Father in Ebu which was built by the people but not yet fully in use. He called on Community stakeholders not to totally rely on government to know and do everything, because without their input, Government might not be able to set its priority straight.

He said; "...if you allow everything at the hand of the government you might not get those issues that are very Germaine to your people addressed, because government have a lot that needs their attention. So it is people like us who are locals, it is our duty to highlight projects like this before our people."

The LGA boss further called on communities to speak up on their needs, he beckoned on them to hold talks with those in position to help the community because even if the government decides to provide facilities and it is not properly maintained by the Community, in the end they will end up in square zero.

"This is the Palace, and it represents everybody who is Ebu indigene. If you are from this place, then this is your root and identity, that's the truth," Hon Innocent Esewezie said pointing to the befitting palace which has been neglected for a while.

He promised to ensure that the environment housing the palace is well taken care of, "what we are going to do here is first, to keep this place healthy and clean, after that, we will make an appeal to other well meaning sons and daughters of Ebu to also come in, because that's important," he continued. He assured them of Oshimili North Local Government Council's willingness to partner with the people of Ebu to solve their most pressing problems.

Part of places visited by the Oshimili North Local Government Chairman includes the new secondary school built by Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa's led Delta State Government, the Ebu market, the palace of the king, amongst others.
