The First Lady of Ebonyi State, Mrs. Uzoamaka Mary-Maudline Nwifuru, has commissioned series of charity projects sponsored by Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi, representing Ebonyi North Senatorial Zone.
Mrs Nwifuru who inaugurated the projects, on February 14, across different locations within the senatorial zone, applauded Senetor Nwebonyi’s efforts in delivering his mandate to his constituency hailing his commitment to community development.
She said, “Today, I am very happy because our distinguished senator has proved that he has the people’s interest at heart. Just like the governor, he is showing love and support to those who voted for us. This is a clear example of what true leadership looks like.”
The First Lady urged other lawmakers to emulate Senator Nwebonyi’s dedication to serve, praising his leadership and compassion towards his constituents.
The projects commissioned include: a fully furnished house for Mrs. Nnenna Adoke at Ndigwe Igbeagu, Izzi LGA; a two-bedroom bungalow for a widow, Mrs. Patricia Ben Nwofoke, at Adam Village, Ndiuruku Amegu, Abakaliki LGA; and a 8,000-litre motorized borehole at Ndunkwegu Primary School, Enyibuchiri Amegu, Abakaliki LGA, to provide clean drinking water for the community.
In his remarks, Senator Nwebonyi revealed that philanthropy has always been a part of his life, even before venturing into politics.
“I started giving to the poor long before I joined politics, and God saw my efforts and elevated me into public office. This position has given me the opportunity to amplify my good intentions.
He emphasized his commitment to infrastructural development, including the construction of 18 kilometers of concrete roads across the four local government areas of Ebonyi North
According to him: “Today, we have commissioned two-bedroom bungalows for vulnerable people in my zone, and we have more coming. Out of the 10 housing units planned, five are already completed.
“Currently, I am constructing 18 kilometers of concrete roads across the four local government areas of Ebonyi North. Unlike asphalt, which does not last on our soil, we are using concrete to ensure durability for at least 50 years.
“Also, in two weeks we shall be distributing farm inputs to our people, we going to give them rice seedlings, herbicides, fertilizers, so we are capturing about 3,000 farmers I did it last year and it paid off . Many that I empowered last year are now millionaires, some got fifty bags of rice.
“I want to use this medium to reassure the people of Ebonyi North Senatorial zone that I will not stop in doing good. I will not stop in appreciating them, I’m the youngest senator to be on that seat since the creation of Ebonyi North Senatorial zone, and I must tell them that I’m youthful and useful to them”. Senator Nwebonyi stated.
