The execution of additional projects in Arochukwu, Isuikwuato and Bende LGAs of Abia-North by the Senator representing Abia North, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has given residents of Aro town, Idima Abam, Obayi Ovim and Igbere more reasons to smile as a result of the construction of new schools and roads in their respective communities.
Constituents of Arochukwu LGA rendered tons of gratitude to the former Abia Governor during the flag-off ceremony of the Idima Abam road construction.
Still in Arochukwu LGA, construction works on the Amanagwu road in Aro town got off to a full swing with the presence of graders carrying out earth works under the supervision of the contractors and assistance of labourers.
A youth leader spoke of the challenges encountered by the residents of Idima saying that due to the terrible state of the road, commercial motorists decline to convey people into the community as they are left with no other option than to trek.
He said: “Now that our Senator Orji UzorKalu has come to rescue. We are very happy.
“He has been a title holder in our community since 1997 so Idima is his home. He continues to provide us with the dividends of democracy, God will continue to uplift him.
On education, Idima Community School Abam became the beneficiary of another block of three classroom structures currently undergoing renovation which adds to the one previously rebuilt by the Senator.
As workers discharged their duties, Head Teacher the School, Elder Okonkwo Ukoha described the current state of the building, which he described as terrible and non-conducive for learning and teaching.
He, however, expressed happiness that now the structure is being renovated by Senator Kalu the situation will no longer be the same. He also noted that the school had also benefited from a previous structure constructed by the Senator which is in use presently.
He thanked Kalu, saying: “We are grateful to him for commencing the reconstruction of this school as you can see the building has deteriorated.
“He built one structure for us before and now he is giving us an additional one. The staff, students and community are in a joyous mood and they are full of gratitude.
Isuikwuato Local Government Area saw the gathering of residents to witness the flag-off event for the construction of Obichie Road in ObayiOvim.
In Bende Local Government Area, residents were thrilled to witness construction works on the long awaited Igbere road, which will traverse through Umuokpo—AmankaluAlayi—Okafia communities.
A prominent youth leader, Ebony Inyama, expressed gratitude to Kalu, saying: “The community is so delighted and they have wished our Senator well in his future endeavour and they have assured him unalloyed support and their votes come 2027 because there is no other way to repay him for such a gesture other than with our votes.
On his official social media platform, Sen Kalu shed more light on the development, saying that the capital infrastructures will bring relief and improved connectivity to the people of Abia North Senatorial District.
“These projects mark a significant milestone in our efforts to improve infrastructure and enhance connectivity in Abia North Senatorial District.
