The Member Representing Anambra East and West Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Hon Chief Benjamin Chinedu Obidigwe, has unveiled his plan to execute projects worth Eighty-Four Million Naira ( #84, 000.000.00) across the Twenty One ( 21) Communities In Anambra East and West Federal Constituency.
According to the federal lawmaker, the initiative is in line with his burning desire to attract more democratic dividends to his constituency and enable the people of his constituency have access to more basic amenities.
Interestingly, the programme which will be all-inclusive shall commence in two (2) phases with ten ( 10) Communities to benefit with #4million each in the first phase from October 2021 while the second phase shall begin in the 2nd quarter of 2022.
The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Lawmaker, Dominic Okagbue, who disclosed this said Hon Obidigwe had touched many lives, especially the downtrodden.
According to him, “To ensure proper participation and Community engagement in the programme, all the President Generals ( PGs ) in Anambra East and West have been directed to hold stakeholder’s meetings amongst themselves and consult their respective communities to select the most pressing needs ranging from a borehole, solar street light, hospital equipment, renovations, supply of Computers to schools, hospital equipment to primary health Centres, Rehabilitation of boreholes, etc, which can be financed within the amount budgeted.
“The above gesture by Hon Obidigwe is amongst his developmental strides so far since he was elected into the Green Chambers of the National Assembly.
“It may interest us to know that Hon Chief. Chinedu Benjamin Obidigwe has so far raised the bar of federal representation so high since the inception of his emergence in the 9th Assembly which is totally uncommon especially in the recent democratic dispensation and considering the paucity of funds at the federal level which has affected budget implementation in recent time.
“Despite these challenges which have kept most federal lawmakers in long-distance with their constituents, Hon Obidigwe was able to execute several projects/programmes even at the nation’s most critical period occasioned by covid-19 Which includes the completion of first interlocked road in Anambra East local government precisely at Ama-isiokwe Aguleri, the completion of solar street light at Nzam, Umuoba Anam, Enugu Otu and Mkpunando Otu Communities in Anambra East and West, the renovation of Ajandu Hall in Umueze Anam.
Others include, the distribution of over N100million educational equipment to Nine (9) Secondary schools in Anambra East and West, the construction of classroom block at Ivite Aguleri, the training and empowerment of over four hundred ( 400) constituents on different youth/ women skill acquisition programmes, including Scientific Equipment Development Institute ( SEDI), the National Biosafety management agency.
It also includes, the launching of N61million transport scheme for selected constituents free of charge, a scholarship scheme for indigent students both at secondary school level and university levels, Financial support for agricultural production in Anambra East and West, facilitation of over 200 Person (s) who benefited in Federal Government Special Public Works (SPW), Federal Government Covid-19 support funds and several grants attracted amongst others.
“The decision to embark on four million naira direct developmental initiative for Communities in Anambra East and West Federal Constituency will go a long way in consolidating on the gains of effective representation recorded so far by Obidigwe and further enable the people to have access to basic amenities which shall have a positive impact on them.”
