The people of Akpugo in Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State have commended Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for constructing what they term the first state government road project in the community after years of neglect by past administrations.
South East Trust gathered that Ugwuanyi, during one of his routine visits to communities, inspected the then deplorable Ogonogoeji-Ndiagu-Akpugo rural road (from Atavu Bailey Bridge to Afor Onovo), and promised to construct the road. A promise he has now fulfilled, the people said.
The chairman of Nardo Group, Chief Bernard Edeh, a member of the community who executed the project, spoke when the governor visited Akpogu to inaugurate the asphalted 1.9km Ugwuagba-Achikpa-Onicha Agu road in Ogonogoeji-Ndiaga.
Edeh said Gov Ugwuanyi’s special love for the community, which was evident in pioneering development in the area, spurred him to undertake the road infrastructure in support of the administration’s rural development programme in the state.
Edeh said the road constructed by Gov. Ugwuanyi in the community has attracted development and other good things to the area.
A former Inspector General of Police, Ogbonnaya Onovo (rtd), an indigene of Akpugo, lauded Gov. Ugwuanyi for his special love for the community, describing him as “a man who is committed to humanity; a man of truth; a man of justice and honesty”.
Gov. Ugwuanyi, while inaugurating the road, described the contribution of Edeh in complementing the efforts of his administration in rural infrastructure development as “exemplary and commendable”.
