By Charles Iteshi, Abakaliki

The Member-elect Ikwo/ Ezza-south federal constituency and Deputy Chairman House Committee on Poverty Alleviation, Rt. Hon. (Comrade) Chinedu Ogah OON, as part of his appreciation for the massive support given to him during the February 25th election, has commenced the rural electrification in Okpuitumo lgberi in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. Ogah said that the ongoing electrification project in Okpuitumo community is a display of gratitude for the good gestures from the community as reflected in their votes, which boasted his reelection as a member of the House of Representatives.

According to him, the electricity will serve many purposes for the people of the community, including sufficient power supply in the different villages, adequate and advanced storage of their farm products and other agricultural services. "The power outage in some of the communities has crumbled businesses and this has stood as a deficit in the management of businesses by the women and farmers in the village. This and many more have propelled us into the action of eradicating and curbing total darkness in the rural areas".

"The developmental project is not ending at Okpuitumo. Other communities are benefitting too. Our bridge construction work is ongoing at Ndufu Echara and Okpoto Egu in Ikwo Local Government Area. "It is part of our duty and responsibility to bring dividends of democracy and sustainable development in rural communities of our constituency and we shall stop at nothing to ensure that this is achieved for the masses, Ogah said.

He further enjoined the community leaders and security agencies to guide the different projects in the villages to avoid vandalisation and abuses.
