The Chinedu Ogah Foundation has distributed ₦200 million in cash and twelve trailers of rice to constituents of Ikwo/Ezza-South Federal Constituency in Ebonyi State.

The distribution took place on Thursday during the 26th Anniversary and Annual Foundation Day celebration of the Foundation at Item Amagu Village, Ikwo Local Government Area.

Speaking at the event, the Member representing Ikwo/Ezza-South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. (Comrade) Chinedu Ogah, OON, urged residents of Ikwo and Ezza-South Local Government Areas to continue supporting the administration of the Ebonyi State Governor, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru.

Ogah, who is also Chairman of the House Committee on Reformatory Institutions, said the Foundation’s interventions were aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the People’s Charter of Needs of the Ebonyi State Government.

He disclosed that the empowerment programme covered beneficiaries from all thirty-one wards of the constituency and was aimed at easing economic hardship during the Christmas period. The lawmaker further announced that a larger empowerment programme would be carried out in March 2026 as part of efforts to promote sustainable constituency development.
