The Senator for Imo East (Owerri Senatorial District) Ezenwa Francis Onyewuchi has reiterated his determination to extend his on-going Women and Youth empowerment programmes to all communities in the area despite some challenges

The Senator currently in his second missionary journey at the nation’s upper legislative chambers said that apart from his empowerment programmes, he had trained and graduated 70 science teachers,  equiped 35 schools with modern teaching and learning facilities for enhanced academic excellence.

Sen. Onyewuchi disclosed this when he commissioned a 500 KVA transformer sub station which he personally constructed at Mbieri road neighbourhood Akwakuma Uratta, in the Owerri North Council Area .

The gesture he said was in response to the request by the resident of the community to tackle the lingering epileptic power supply from the national grid, adding that the facility had already been installed at the SPIBAT road and in some parts of the neighbouring communities.

” I will continue to do more in order to touch the lives of our people and alleviate their plight and this also entails provision of sola water and rehabilitation of dilapidated rural feeder roads”.

The Senator who had earlier called on the traditional ruler of the Community HRH Eze David Nnawuihe Onu Egwuneoke (Eze Udo 111) commended him for sustenance of peace and unity in his domain and for his premium on the protection of lives and properties in the community.

He charged residents of the community to guard against the vandalization of the amenity.

Responding, Eze David Onu Egwunwoke extolled the Senator for his qualitative result oriented representation at the red-chambers which he noted had brought smiles on the faces of his constituents.

The monarch while acknowledging the various empowerment programmes of the Senator, pleaded with him to do something urgent about the moribund Reservoir and the transformer at ancestral market of the community

He commended the state government for her urgent strides to remedy the disturbing security challenges in some parts of the state , adding that a local vigillance group had already been put in place in the community.

Also speaking, a prominient politician cum business mogul- Chief Marcellinus Okechukwu Nlemigbo  (aka MARCON) held Senator Onyewuchi as a grassroots selfless politician, a man of vision, courage and foresighted who has justified the mandate given to him by the people through meaningful representation .

He also commended Governor Hope Uzodimma for his impeccable record of service over the years and enjoined the community to continue to support him.
