Ebonyi State Governor, David Nweze Umahi is currently changing the narrative of the entire state.
It is imperative to note that before the coming of Umahi, Ebonyi was seen as the dust of the nation but now, the state is being referred as ‘small London’.
Indeed, the rejected stone has now become the cornerstone.
This is because of the numerous projects initiated by Umahi ever since he assumed office.
It is imperative to note that it is Gov. Umahi that first started building roads with concretes which has earned him many nicknames, ‘Master of infrastructure, Master of Good Roads, Workerholic Governor’ among others.
In Nigeria, many states are begging Ebonyians to loan them Gov. Umahi to govern them for few months as if we are talking football. This might sound funny, but that’s the truth.
In terms of empowerment, Umahi has empowered many Ebonyians through various programmes initiated by him.
It is pertinent to note that Umahi’s first term was not just characterised by concrete or rigid pavement roads, overhead bridges, construction of public buildings, classroom blocks, markets, hospitals, street lights.
The governor also ran an unparalleled empowerment programme.
However, Umahi is not yet done with Ebonyi State with his good works in trying to change the narrative of the state entirely.
Some of the projects being done by the governor include,
1)Ebonyi Ring Roads
2)Building of New International Airport
3)Industrial Clusters
4)Biomass Gasification Power Project
5)Ebonyi Waste Recycling Plan
6)Storage Facilities
7)Construction of New Stadium
Indeed, Ebonyi is gradually turning to a small London.
And Umahi is indeed changing the narrative of Ebonyi State.
