Egwu Achi community commends Gov. Ugwuanyi’s rural development initiatives

By our reporter

Stakeholders of Egwu Achi community in Oji River local government area of Enugu state weekend extolled Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s rural development agenda.

Reacting to the recent letter of recognition issued to the traditional ruler of the community, Igwe Victor Meniru, by the state government, the president-general of the community, Engr. Emeka Mme, affirmed total support of the community to the traditional ruler.

He also called on some people claiming that the traditional ruler does not enjoy support of his people to desist from such.

According to him, "the election that produced Igwe Victor Meniru was
credible."

A youth leader in the community, Mr. Onyekachukwu Igbadu, while speaking to NewReel added that the election was supervised by the deputy chairman of Oji River LGA, Engr. Chukwudi Ezenwa, and expressed surprise that some persons were bent on discrediting the election.

Igwe Meniru, in an interview with our reporter, commended the state government for the letter of recognition issued to him, saying, “I appeal to aggrieved persons to allow peace to reign in our community for us to benefit from the people-oriented administration of Gov. Ugwuanyi.

"I also exonerate the likes of Hon C.C. Akalusi, who some claim were fuelling the crisis in our community. Hon Akalusi has been a family friend, even before my emergence as Igwe," he said.

Recall that Meniru’s coronation as Igwe in 2010 was quashed by the court after 12 years on the throne, which informed a fresh election that held on 31 May 2019 at Nkwo Egwu Achi where he emerged
victorious.

He was later presented to the governor for recognition on
1st of June 2019.

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...
