\n
The President of the Senate, Sen. Ahmad Lawan, Friday inaugurated some constituency projects attracted to Abia North Senatorial District by the Senate Chief Whip, Sen. Orji Kalu.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Reports that the projects were mainly intra and inter-community roads built in Bende and Isuikwuato Local Government<\/a> Areas (LGAs) of the state.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The list included the two-kilometer Nvurunvu-Umuamara Road and two-kilometer Amaibo Road in Isuikwuato LGA.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The rest were the four-kilometer Ugwu Rubber Road, Amokwe Item and two-kilometer Agbor-Amorji-Lodu Road<\/a> both in Bende LGA.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In separate speeches at the event, Lawan underscored the strategic importance of access roads to the development<\/a> of the nation\u2019s rural communities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said that roads facilitate the transportation of agricultural produce from the hinterlands to urban centres.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe roads are meant to open up the rural communities. Our country<\/a> cannot develop, if the rural roads are not built to enable our farmers to move their harvests to the cities,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The senate<\/a> president applauded Kalu for attracting the projects to his constituency and described his efforts as a demonstration of love for his people.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe projects have practically proved to the communities what the All Progressives Congress (APC)<\/a> government can do.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIt shows that, in spite of our political leanings, the interest of our people and communities is uppermost in our minds,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He, therefore, urged the constituents to endeavour to reciprocrate Kalu\u2019s efforts and selfless service at the appropriate time, in order to enable him to do more.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He also spoke glowingly about Kalu, describing him as one of the best and brightest lawmakers<\/a> in the Senate.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In separate remarks, Kalu said that some of the asphalted roads were about the first of their kind in the history of some of the communities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He described the projects<\/a> as a fulfilment of his 2019 campaign promise to the benefitting communities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He charged the jubilant communities to sustain their\u00a0 support for APC, assuring them that plans were underway to extend some of the roads beyond two-kilometers.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said that aside from roads, he had attracted water and several school renovation projects from the Federal<\/a> Government.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At Alayi, Kalu promised to provide them with electricity and water, having built a four-kilometer road in the area.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Two President-Generals, Chief Ralph Ugara and Chief Emeka Eze of Nvurunvu Autonomous Community and Item Development Union, respectively, expressed profound gratitude to him for bringing development to their door steps.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Reports have it\u00a0 that the senate president was conferred with the chieftaincy title of \u201cEzi enyi 1 of Alayi\u201d (the best friend to Alayi Community) by the traditional rulers of the area.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He was also conferred with the title of \u201cNwanne dinamba\u201d (a brother in diaspora) by the Item Okpi TraditionalEnugu East traditional rulers wade into zoning controversy<\/a> Rulers Council.<\/div>\n
He was accompanied on the trip by the former governor of the state, Sen.<\/div>\n
