Abia lawmaker inaugurates school projects, borehole in constituency

A member representing the Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Ibe Osonwa, has inaugurated several people-oriented projects for his constituency.
The projects include brand-new classroom blocks in Ukwa Nkporo, Abam and Abia Ohafia, including a historic solar-powered borehole in Umuye, Ihechiowa.
Mr Osonwa made this known in a statement on Thursday in Abuja by his legislative aide, Arua Goodluck.
He emphasised the importance of equitable development and education, noting that every part of his constituency deserves to feel the impact of good governance.
“Education is the bedrock of any society. This project is part of our commitment to building a better future for our children,” he said.
Mr Osonwa assured the constituents that water projects were already underway, with a geological survey completed and contractors set to be mobilised.
The traditional ruler of Ukwa, Ezeogo Mba Nkuma, lauded the lawmaker for his integrity and for delivering on his campaign promises.
The leader of the Ohafia Legislative Council, Arua Arua Anyim, called for further intervention in water supply in the area.
The community, in recognition of Mr Osonwa’s outstanding service and delivery of democratic dividends, conferred on him the prestigious chieftaincy title of “Omeroha 1 of Abia Ohafia.”
