The People’s Senator And Promise Keeper, Most Distinguished Senator Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, Former Governor of Abia State, One time House of Representatives Member, and the current Indefatigable senator representing the good people of Abia North Senatorial District under The All Progressives Congress (APC), has fulfilled his promise of distributing solar powered street lights to about 48 communities across his constituency, Umuokogbuo-Eluama inclusive.
Recall that, Most Distinguished Senator Orji Uzor Kalu through his media office released a statement sometime in June to distribute, install and power about 48 communities in Abia North with Solar lights. It was revealed that, the solar power project was meant to light up dark places around communities, increase social and economic activities and reduce criminal tendencies in Abia North. The next phase of the project will benefit other communities not yet on the list of the communities under review.
Among all the communities listed as the beneficiaries of the solar power project, Umuokogbuo Autonomous Community was assigned ten (10) poles of the solar light which was to be mounted along Rufus Obi road in the community. This inclusion was made possible with the intervention, appeal and follow up by Chief Dr Onyinye Kay Rufus-Obi to Sen Orji on behalf of the community.
As at 25th of July, 2023, all the ten (10) poles of the solar lights as assigned to the community have been installed in Umuokogbuo Autonomous Community and they are all in good working conditions. This is simply, a promise made and fulfilled.
It is in the light of the above that the President General of Umuokogbuo Development Union, Mr Chinweike Francis Udeagu while speaking with our correspondent on phone, thanked the Ebullient Senator for fulfilling one of the promises made to them.
