Monarch sacrifices part of his palace building for road construction

By Pat Ugwu

Igwe Emeka Ugwu, the Traditional Ruler of Owerre Nsukka community in Nsukka local government Area, Enugu State says he allowed  his perimeter fence and part of his palace building to be demolished so that he will not be an obstacle to road construction in his community. 

Ugwu said this in Nsukka on Wednesday while speaking with newsmen, he said in every developmental project some people have to sacrifice either their land or buildings. 
"For the construction of Senator Fidelis Okoro/Amaeze bye pass road I sacrificed part of my palace building  and fence for demolition to enable the ongoing road construction in my community by Enugu State government to be completed according to plan and specifications.

"If I say no,  the road will be very small and two cars will not pass each at the same time," he said.

The traditional ruler said as a leader he must lead by example so that his subjects would also be  good followers. 
"What I did is way of telling  my people that at one time or the other members of the community  will sarcrify something in order to bring development to the community.

"Leaders should be true representatives of the people, ready to sacrifice at all time for  the interest of their people "he said. 

Ugwu urged the people of Enugu State to continue to throw support on Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's  government since he had been carrying everybody along. 

"His administration has changed  the narratives in Enugu State on roads,  education, health, agriculture, empowerment and capacity building.

"Everybody in the state is happy with his administration because he is carrying the three senatorial districts along both in infrastructure development and appointments.

"My promise is that my community will continue to support government policies and programmes In order to move the state to the next level, "he said.

GOV. UGWUANYI REMEMBERED MBU ROAD AFTER 32 YEARS OF ABANDONMENT By Ike Ona Mbu Akpochi, Mbu Amon , Mbu Agudene, and Akpoga Mbu  are boundary communities between Nsukka Local Government Area and Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu state. It seems that the four communities are too far for the previous administrations to remember the need for an access road to the communities, although it generates loads of agricultural products for the people of Enugu State. The lives of people in these communities have remained backward   and developments have not changed even after so many years of existence. They remain cut off from the rest of the world due to lack of bridge and motorable road that aids even development of communities. The existence of these Rivers: Eme, Amanyi, Ama, Okpachi and Ajina make movement especially during rainy season miserable for the people. Hence they are usually isolated during rainy season. Rivers like Amanyi and Eme overflows all through the rai...
