The people of the three autonomous communities in Ede-Oballa, Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, have commended Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for the ongoing construction of the State Secretariat Annex and other development projects, such as various housing estates, on their land.

The Ede-Oballa people gave the commendation when they paid a ‘Thank you’ visit to Gov. Ugwuanyi, at the Government House, Enugu.

The jubilant people who came out en masse to express their deep appreciation to Governor Ugwuanyi, were led by the former State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Vita Abba, in company of their revered priests, traditional rulers, academics, politicians, community leaders, and entrepreneurs, among others.

They used the opportunity to again congratulate Gov. Ugwuanyi for his victory at the last governorship election.

They equally thanked Gov. Ugwuanyi for appointing two of their children into government positions, as well as provision of road infrastructure in Ede-Oballa, especially the state-of-the-art Opi-Nsukka dual carriageway, which they said, stretched longer in the community.

They pointed out the State Secretariat Annex and other development projects will bring rapid development to their community as well as boost socio-economic activities, stressing they were highly delighted at the love and outstanding vision the governor has for the area in particular and the state in general.

The people, who offered special prayers for the Governor through their priests, reassured him of their unalloyed support and cooperation towards the full actualisation of his administration’s transformation agenda in their community and beyond.
